LOS ANGELES, March 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xos, Inc. (NASDAQ:XOS) ("Xos" or the "Company"), a leading electric truck manufacturer and fleet services provider, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Highlights:

• 2024 revenue increased to $56.0 million, up from $44.5 million in 2023
• Delivered 297 units, up from 283 units in 2023
• Improved GAAP gross margins from a negative 2.9% in 2023 to positive 7.1% in 2024 and non-GAAP gross margins (adjusted for physical inventory write-offs and reserves) from negative 5.2% in 2023 to positive 18% in 2024.
• Reduced operating expenses by $13.8 million, or 21.7%, compared to 2023
• Received our largest customer order in 2025 for 193 units from UPS which is expected to be delivered in 2025
• Launched next-generation Xos Hub, and received our largest hub order for 19 units sold to Caltrans.

Dakota Semler, Chief Executive Officer of Xos, commented, "2024 was a breakout year for Xos. We delivered our most profitable year ever, expanded our customer base, and continued to innovate across multiple fronts. We're thrilled about our progress with Blue Bird, where we've built an incredible all-electric powertrain for both their school bus and commercial chassis platforms. We also launched and delivered our first Winnebago units into a mobile medical fleet, an important step into specialized vehicle markets. We're especially proud to now be a primary electric vehicle vendor for last-mile delivery fleets at UPS and FedEx Ground. And the new generation of our Xos Hub is already seeing adoption by utility and public sector leaders, including ABM, FP&L, Xcel, and Caltrans, helping them deploy electric vehicles faster and more reliably than ever before."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The financial information in this press release has been presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as well as on a non-GAAP basis to supplement Xos's condensed consolidated financial results. Xos's non-GAAP financial measures include operating cash flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow), non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP gross profit (loss), which are defined below.

"Operating cash flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow)" is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities minus purchases of property and equipment.

"Non-GAAP operating loss" is defined as loss from operations adjusted for stock-based compensation, inventory write-downs and physical inventory and other adjustments.

"Non-GAAP gross profit (loss)" is defined as gross profit (loss) minus inventory write-downs and physical inventory and other adjustments.

Xos believes that the use of operating cash flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow), non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP gross profit (loss) reflects additional means of evaluating Xos's ongoing operating results and trends. The presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that Xos's future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. It is important to note Xos's computation of operating cash flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow), non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP gross profit (loss) may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because not all companies may calculate operating cash flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow), non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP gross profit (loss) in the same fashion. 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 Xos's operating performance. A reconciliation between historical GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided in this press release.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties.

All forward-looking statements included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by, and you should carefully consider, the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described under the heading "Risk Factors" included in Xos's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 29, 2024, Xos's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 filed with the SEC on November 14, 2024, and Xos's other filings with the SEC, copies of which may be obtained by visiting Xos's Investors Relations website at https://www.xostrucks.com/investor-overview or the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Xos assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
