Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are difficult to predict and are beyond our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or otherwise implied by the forward-looking statements. Below is a summary of certain material factors that may make an investment in our common stock speculative or risky.

•We are an early stage company with a history of losses and expect to incur significant expenses and continuing losses for the foreseeable future.

•We may be unable to adequately control the costs associated with our operations.

•Our current business plans require a significant amount of capital. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding or do not have access to capital, we will be unable to execute our business plans and our prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

•We have not achieved positive operating cash flow and, given our projected funding needs, our ability to generate positive cash flow is uncertain.

•Our financial results may vary significantly from period to period due to fluctuations in our operating costs, product demand and other factors.

•Our limited operating history makes evaluating our business and future prospects difficult and increases the risk of your investment.

•Any changes as a result of our Employee Reorganization Plan could adversely affect and disrupt our business and results of operations.

•We have remediated the material weaknesses previously reported in our internal control over financial reporting, but if we identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect our business and stock price.

•If we fail to manage our growth effectively, we may not be able to design, develop, manufacture, market and launch our electric vehicles ("EVs") successfully.

•We are highly dependent on the services of our key employees and senior management and, if we are unable to attract and retain key employees and hire qualified management, technical and EV engineering personnel, our ability to compete could be harmed.

•Several of our key vendors, including some single-source suppliers, have sent us notices of nonpayment of amount owed by us. The termination of any of these supply relationships would hinder our ability to manufacture our products, and the disputed amounts owed could lead to material litigation or other actions.

•We may offer shares of our common stock in lieu of cash payments to vendors in an effort to preserve cash for our operations. Doing so may result in us issuing a significant amount of shares which could result in dilution to your investment.

•We need to raise additional capital in the near term, and we currently do not have sufficient cash on hand to meet our near term obligations or capital requirements, which could jeopardize our ability to continue business operations or render us insolvent.

•Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a delisting of our securities.

•We face significant barriers to manufacture and bring our EVs to market, and if we cannot successfully overcome those barriers our business will be negatively impacted.

Table of Contents

•In connection with each of our previous eight Form 10-Qs (beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2022) and each of our previous two Form 10-Ks, our management has performed an analysis of our ability to continue as a going concern and has identified substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

•Outstanding amounts and limited capacity under the Current Yorkville PPAs will make us more vulnerable to downturns in our financial condition.

•If our stockholders approve our proposed reverse stock split, the resulting market price of our Common Stock following such event may not attract new investors, and it is not certain that the proposed reverse stock split will result in a sustained proportionate increase in the market price of our Common Stock.

•Customers who have committed to purchase significant amounts of our vehicles may purchase significantly fewer vehicles than we currently anticipate or none at all. In that case, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

•Our ability to develop and manufacture EVs of sufficient quality and appeal to customers on schedule and on a large scale is unproven and still evolving.

•We will depend initially on revenue generated from a single EV model and in the foreseeable future will be significantly dependent on a limited number of models.

•There is no guarantee that we will be able to develop our software platform, Canoo Digital Ecosystem, or that if we are able to develop it, that we will obtain the revenue and other benefits we expect from it.

•We may fail to attract new customers in sufficient numbers or at sufficient rates or at all or to retain existing customers, if any, and may face risks if we are dependent on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenues.

•If our EVs fail to perform as expected, our ability to develop, market and deploy our EVs could be harmed.

•Our distribution model may expose us to risk and if unsuccessful may impact our business prospects and results of operations.

•We face legal, regulatory and legislative uncertainty in how our go-to-market models will be interpreted under existing and future law, including the potential inability to protect our intellectual property rights, and we may be required to adjust our consumer business model in certain jurisdictions as a result.

•If we fail to successfully build and tool our manufacturing facilities and/or if we are unable to establish or continue a relationship with a contract manufacturer or if our manufacturing facilities become inoperable, we will be unable to produce our vehicles and our business will be harmed.

•We may not be able to realize the non-dilutive financial incentives offered by the State of Oklahoma where we will develop our own manufacturing facilities, including if we do not maintain certain levels of employment at such facilities.

•We and our third-party suppliers will rely on complex machinery for production, which involves a significant degree of risk and uncertainty in terms of operational performance and costs.

•We have no experience to date in high volume manufacture of our EVs.

•We may experience significant delays in the design, production and launch of our EVs, which could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

•Increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of raw materials and other components used in our vehicles, in particular lithium-ion battery cells, could harm our business.

•We are dependent on our suppliers, some of which are single or limited source suppliers, and the inability of these suppliers to deliver necessary components of our EVs at prices and volumes, performance and specifications acceptable to us, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

•We are or may be subject to risks associated with strategic alliances or acquisitions and may not be able to identify adequate strategic relationship opportunities, or form strategic relationships, in the future.

•The automotive market is highly competitive and technological developments by our competitors may adversely affect the demand for our EVs and our competitiveness in this industry.

•If the market for EVs does not develop as we expect or develops more slowly than is expected, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be adversely affected.

•We may not be able to obtain or agree on acceptable terms and conditions for all or a significant portion of the government grants, loans and other incentives for which we may apply.

•Our EVs are based on the use of complex and novel steer-by-wire technology that is unproven on a wide commercial scale.

•Our EVs rely on software and hardware that is highly technical, and if these systems contain errors, bugs or vulnerabilities, or if we are unsuccessful in addressing or mitigating technical limitations in our systems, our business could be adversely affected.

•We are subject to cybersecurity risks to our operational systems, security systems, infrastructure, integrated software in our EVs and customer data processed by us or third-party vendors.

Table of Contents

•Our stock price has been volatile, and the market price of our Common Stock may drop below the price you pay.

•Future sales and issuances of our equity or convertible securities could result in dilution to our existing stockholders and could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.

•Substantial blocks of our total outstanding shares may be sold into the market. If there are substantial sales or issuances of shares of our Common Stock, the price of our Common Stock could decline.

•Economic, regulatory, political and other events, including fluctuating interest rates, sustained inflation, slower growth or recession, issues with supply chain, shortage of labor, national and global geopolitical and economic uncertainty, may adversely affect our financial results.

•Our ability to meet the timelines we have established for production and manufacturing milestones of our EVs is uncertain.

•Other factors disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or otherwise implied by the forward-looking statements, including those described under the section "Summary of Risk Factors" and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024. Given such risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning these and other factors that may impact the forward-looking statements discussed herein can be found in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. These risks and others described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not be exhaustive and the above summary is qualified in its entirety by those more complete discussions of such risks and uncertainties.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, even if our results or operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated) (unaudited)

1. Organization and Description of the Business

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, certain notes or other information that are normally required by GAAP have been omitted if they substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024 (“Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. In the opinion of management, the Company has made all adjustments necessary to present fairly its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The Company’s financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company’s comprehensive loss is the same as its net loss.

Except for any updates below, no material changes have occurred with respect to the Company’s significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reverse Stock Split

On February 29, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders to approve an amendment to the Company's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's Common Stock at a reverse stock split ratio ranging from 1:2 to 1:30, and to authorize the Board to determine the timing of the amendment at its discretion at any time, if at all, but in any case prior to the one-year anniversary of the date on which the reverse stock split is approved by the Company’s stockholders. On March 8, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-23 reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of the Company’s Common Stock. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 23 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock as of 8:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on March 8, 2024 was automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, with no change in par value per share. No fractional shares of Common Stock were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split were rounded down to the nearest whole share and cash payments were made to the stockholders. The Reverse Stock Split had no impact on the number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock that the Company is authorized to issue pursuant to its certificate of incorporation. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company's equity awards and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise price. All share and per share information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the Reverse Stock Split.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are its unrestricted cash balance and the Company's principal access to capital is under the July 2024 PPA (as defined in Note 10). The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception and has a working capital deficit. The Company had negative cash flows from operating activities of $109.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company expects to continue to incur net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities in accordance with its operating plan and expects that

Table of Contents

expenditures will increase significantly in connection with its ongoing activities. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As an early-stage growth company, the Company’s ability to access capital is critical. Although management continues to explore raising additional capital through a combination of debt financing, other non-dilutive financing and/or equity financing to supplement the Company’s capitalization and liquidity, management cannot conclude as of the date of this filing that its plans are probable of being successfully implemented.

The Company believes substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the date of issuance of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Macroeconomic Conditions

Current adverse macroeconomic conditions, including but not limited to heightened inflation, slower growth or recession, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, higher interest rates, currency fluctuations, challenges in the supply chain could negatively affect the Company's business.

Ultimately, the Company cannot predict the impact of current or worsening macroeconomic conditions. The Company continues to monitor macroeconomic conditions to remain flexible and to optimize and evolve its business as appropriate. To do this, the Company is working on projecting demand and infrastructure requirements and deploying its workforce and other resources accordingly.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which provides a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands on required disclosures about fair value measurement. Fair value represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company uses the following hierarchy in measuring the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, focusing on the most observable inputs when available:

•Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets and liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•Level 3 Valuations are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement of the assets or liabilities. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Company's financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, and other current liabilities and are reflected in the financial statements at cost. Cost approximates fair value for these items due to their short-term nature.

Contingent Earnout Shares Liability

The Company has a contingent obligation to issue shares of Common Stock to certain stockholders and employees upon the achievement of certain market share price milestones within specified periods (the “Earnout Shares”). The Company determined that the right to Earnout Shares represents a contingent liability that meets the definition of a derivative and recognized it on the balance sheet at its fair value upon the grant date. The right to Earnout Shares is remeasured at fair value each period through earnings. The fair value is determined using Level 3 inputs, since estimating

Table of Contents

the fair value of this contingent liability requires the use of significant and subjective inputs that may and are likely to change over the duration of the liability with related changes in internal and external market factors. The tranches were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation of the stock prices using an expected volatility assumption based on the historical volatility of the price of the Company’s stock and implied volatility derived from the price of exchange traded options on the Company’s stock. Upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or liquidation, any unissued Earnout Shares would be fully issued regardless of whether the share price target has been met.

Convertible Debt

The Company accounts for convertible debt that does not meet the criteria for equity treatment in accordance with the guidance contained in ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The Company classifies convertible debt based on the repayment terms and conditions. Any discounts or premiums on the convertible debt and costs incurred upon issuance of the convertible debt are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the related convertible debt. Convertible debt is also analyzed for the existence of embedded derivatives, which may require bifurcation from the convertible debt and separate accounting treatment. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as assets or liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 10 for further information.

The Company has elected the fair value option to account for the YA Convertible Debentures, the Ninth Pre-Paid Advance, the Tenth Pre-Paid Advance, the June Prepaid Advance, the Initial July Prepaid Advance and the First Supplemental Advance (all as defined in Note 10 and collectively "Convertible Debt") and recorded such instruments at fair value upon issuance. The Company records changes in fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, with the exception of changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk which, if present, will be recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. Interest expense related to the Convertible Debt is included in the changes in fair value. As a result of applying the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the Convertible Debt were expensed as incurred.

Warrants

The Company determines the accounting classification of warrants it issues as either liability or equity classified by first assessing whether the warrants meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity ("ASC 480"), then in accordance with ASC 815-40 ("ASC 815"), Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock. Under ASC 480, warrants are considered liability classified if the warrants are mandatorily redeemable, obligate the Company to settle the warrants or the underlying shares by paying cash or other assets, or warrants that must or may require settlement by issuing variable number of shares. If warrants do not meet liability classification under ASC 480, the Company assesses the requirements under ASC 815, which states that contracts that require or may require the issuer to settle the contract for cash are liabilities recorded at fair value, irrespective of the likelihood of the transaction occurring that triggers the net cash settlement feature. If the warrants do not require liability classification under ASC 815, and in order to conclude equity classification, the Company also assesses whether the warrants are indexed to its common stock and whether the warrants are classified as equity under ASC 815 or other applicable GAAP. After all relevant assessments, the Company concludes whether the warrants are classified as liability or equity. Liability classified warrants require fair value accounting at issuance and subsequent to initial issuance with all changes in fair value after the issuance date recorded in the statements of operations. Equity classified warrants only require fair value accounting at issuance with no changes recognized subsequent to the issuance date. Refer to Note 16 for information regarding the warrants issued.

Redeemable Preferred Stock

Accounting for convertible or redeemable equity instruments in the Company’s own equity requires an evaluation of the hybrid security to determine if liability classification is required under ASC 480-10. Liability classification is required for freestanding financial instruments that are not debt in legal form and are: (1) subject to an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to redeem the instrument by transferring assets (i.e., mandatorily redeemable), (2) instruments other than equity shares that embody an obligation of the issuer to repurchase its equity shares, or (3) certain types of instruments that obligate the issuer to issue a variable number of equity shares. Securities that do not meet the scoping criteria to be classified as a liability under ASC 480 are subject to redeemable equity guidance, which prescribes securities that may be subject to redemption upon an event not solely within the control of the issuer to be classified outside permanent equity (i.e., classified in temporary equity). Securities classified in temporary equity are initially measured at the proceeds received, net of issuance costs and excluding the fair value of bifurcated embedded derivatives (if any). Subsequent measurement of the carrying value is not required unless the instrument is probable of becoming redeemable or

Table of Contents

is currently redeemable. When the instruments are currently redeemable or probable of becoming redeemable, the Company will recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the then current maximum redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Refer to Note 14 for information regarding the Redeemable Preferred Stock issued.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards granted to employees and directors based on the awards’ estimated grant date fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of its Common Stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. For stock-based awards that vest solely based on continued service (“service-only vesting conditions”), the resulting fair value is recognized under the graded vesting method over the requisite service period, which is usually the vesting period and generally four years. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based awards which contain performance conditions using the graded vesting method, when it is probable the performance condition will be met. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based awards which contain market conditions, such as stock price milestones, by simulating a range of possible future stock prices for the Company over the performance period using a Monte-Carlo simulation model to determine the grant date fair value. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The Company classifies stock-based compensation expense in its Consolidated Statement of Operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified. For grants to non-employees, an expense is recognized when the good or service is received.

The Company estimates the fair value of RSUs based on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock underlying the awards on the grant date. Fair value for awards with stock price performance metrics is calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which incorporates stock price correlation and other variables over the time horizons matching the performance periods. Refer to Note 15 for awards granted to employees during the period.

Cancellation of an existing equity-classified award along with a concurrent grant of a replacement award is accounted for as a modification under ASC 718. Total compensation cost to be recognized in connection with a modification and concurrent grant of a replacement award is equal to the original grant date fair value plus any incremental fair value, calculated as the excess of the fair value of the replacement award over the fair value of the original awards on the cancellation date. Any incremental compensation cost related to vested awards is recognized immediately on the modification date. Any incremental compensation cost related to unvested awards is recognized prospectively over the remaining service period, in addition to the remaining unrecognized grant date fair value.

Net income (loss) per Share

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of the Company's common shares outstanding during the period, after consideration for potential dilutive securities. For periods when the Company is in a net loss position, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), in the form of ASUs, to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have an immaterial impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Position, Results of Operations or Cash Flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements ("ASU 2023-01"), which amends certain provisions of ASC 842 that apply to arrangements between related parties under common control. Specifically, it amends the accounting for leasehold improvements. The amendments requires a lessee in a common-control lease arrangement to amortize leasehold improvements that it owns over the improvements’ useful life to the common control group, regardless of the lease term, if the lessee continues to control the use of the underlying asset through a lease. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any annual or interim period as of the beginning of the

Table of Contents

related fiscal year. The adoption of ASU 2023-01 did not have material impact on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the provisions of this new pronouncement and evaluating any material impact that this guidance may have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the provisions of this new pronouncement and evaluating any material impact that this guidance may have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

On October 9, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, which amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). The ASU was issued in response to the SEC’s August 2018 final rule that updated and simplified disclosure requirements that the SEC believed were “redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded.” The new guidance is intended to align U.S. GAAP requirements with those of the SEC and to facilitate the application of U.S. GAAP for all entities. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the provisions of this new pronouncement and evaluating any material impact that this guidance may have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Ending fair value	$	42,640	$	72,777

As the proceeds of the freestanding instruments identified within the Ninth Pre-Paid Advance exceeded the fair value, a gain on issuance on convertible debt was recognized. As the fair value of the freestanding instruments identified within the Tenth Pre-Paid Advance, June Prepaid Advance and Initial July Prepaid Advance exceeded the proceeds received, losses on issuance on convertible debt were recognized. Refer to Note 10 for further information.

The Company has a contingent obligation to issue shares of Common Stock to certain stockholders and employees upon the achievement of certain market share price milestones within specified periods. Issuances are made in three tranches of approximately 0.2 million shares, for a total of 0.7 million shares, each upon reaching share price targets within specified time frames from December 21, 2020 ("Earnout Date"). The first tranche was not issued given the share price did not reach the specified threshold as of December 21, 2022. The second tranche will be issued if the share price reaches $575.00 within four years of the closing of the Earnout Date. The third tranche will be issued if the share price reaches $690.00 within five years of the Earnout Date. The tranches may also be issued upon a change of control transaction that occurs within the respective timeframes and results in per share consideration exceeding the respective share price target. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has a remaining contingent obligation to issue 0.4 million shares of Common Stock, the ending fair value of which is nominal based on changes in the fair value of the Earnout Shares liability, driven primarily by changes in the share price of the Company's Common Stock.

The Company entered into a Lease Agreement ("Lease Agreement") with I-40 OKC Partners LLC ("I-40") which contained a "Market Value Shortfall" provision that meets the definition of a derivative, valued at $0.6 million at inception. The shortfall expired in April 2024, upon which the Company recorded a gain on the derecognition of the liability of $1.6 million. The amount was included within Gain (Loss) on extinguishment of debt and other. The fair value of the Market Value Shortfall derivative measured as of December 31, 2023 and immediately prior to expiration was $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, resulting in a loss of $0.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 which is included within Gain on fair value change in warrant and derivative liability within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company entered into the Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with the Series B Preferred Stock Purchaser whose conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative liability which requires bifurcation (refer to Note 14). The Company estimated the fair value of the conversion feature derivative embedded in the Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement based on assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model using the following inputs as of the end of the reporting period: the price of the Company’s Common Stock of $0.98; a risk-free interest rate of 3.6%; expected volatility of the Company’s Common Stock of 117.3%; expected dividend yield of 0.0%; and remaining term of 4.03 years.

Pursuant to the Initial PPA, the monthly payment obligation ceases if the PPA Exchange Cap no longer applies and the VWAP is greater than the Floor Price (as amended from time to time) for a period of five consecutive trading days, unless a subsequent triggering date occurs.

The Company, at its option, has the right, but not the obligation, to repay early in cash a portion or all amounts outstanding under any Pre-Paid Advance, provided that the VWAP of the Common Stock is less than the Fixed Price during a period of three consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date on which the Company delivers a notice to Yorkville of its intent and such notice is delivered at least ten trading days prior to the date on which the Company will make such payment. If elected, the early repayment amount is to include a 3.0% redemption premium (“Redemption Premium”). If any Pre-Paid Advances are outstanding and any event of default has occurred, the full amount outstanding under the Pre-Paid Advances plus the Redemption Premium, together with interest and other amounts owed in respect thereof, will become, at Yorkville’s election, immediately due and payable in cash.

The net proceeds received by the Company from Yorkville includes a 16.5% discount of the Loan in accordance with the September Convertible Debenture. Yorkville has the right and option (the “September Loan Option”) to purchase additional convertible debentures in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million. In conjunction with the September Convertible Debenture, the Company issued to Yorkville an initial warrant (the “September Initial Warrant”) to purchase 1.2 million shares of

Table of Contents

Common Stock at an exercise price of $12.42. If Yorkville exercises the September Loan Option, the Company will issue to Yorkville an additional warrant (the “September Option Warrant”) for a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the principal amount so exercised (up to $30.0 million) by $12.42 per share. Yorkville did not exercise the September Loan Option, as a result of which, the September Loan Option and the related September Option Warrant are no longer applicable. As of January 19, 2024, the September Convertible Debentures was fully paid off through the issuance of 3.5 million shares of Common Stock to Yorkville, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.8 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $0.1 million of interest expense.

Amounts outstanding in the YA Convertible Debentures could be offset by the issuance of shares of Common Stock to Yorkville at a price per share calculated at the lower of $11.50 (the "Note Fixed Price") or 95.0% of the lowest daily VWAP on Nasdaq as of the five immediately preceding the conversion date (“Variable Price”), which in no event would be less than $2.30 per share. The issuance of the shares of Common Stock under the YA Convertible Debentures are subject to certain limitations, including that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the YA Convertible Debenture cannot exceed 4.1 million ("Note Exchange Cap"). With respect to the August Convertible Debenture, the Company's stockholders approved the issuance of shares of the Company’s Common Stock in excess of the Note Exchange Cap, which was proposed and voted on at the October Special Meeting.

Interest accrues on the outstanding balance of the August Convertible Debenture and the September Convertible Debenture at an annual rate equal to 3.0%, subject to an increase to 15.0% upon events of default described in their respective agreements.

The Company elected to account for the August Convertible Debenture and the September Convertible Debenture under the fair value option of accounting upon issuance. The proceeds were allocated to all freestanding instruments recorded at fair value.

The primary reason for electing the fair value option is for simplification of accounting for the YA Convertible Debentures at fair value in its entirety versus bifurcation of the embedded derivatives. The fair value was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model.

The YA Convertible Debentures provides that if the VWAP of shares of Common Stock is less than the then-applicable floor price for at least five trading days during a period of seven consecutive trading days (“Trigger Date”) or the Company has issued substantially all of the shares of Common Stock available under the Note Exchange Cap, or the Company is unable to issue Common Stock to Yorkville which may be freely resold by Yorkville without any limitations or restrictions, including, without limitation, due to a stop order or suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, then the Company is required to make monthly cash payments of amounts outstanding under the YA Convertible Debentures beginning on the 10th Trading Day after the Trigger Date and continuing on the same day of each successive calendar month until the entire amount of the YA Convertible Debentures balance has been paid or until the payment obligation ceases. Pursuant to the YA Convertible Debenture, the monthly payment obligation ceases if the Exchange Cap no longer applies and the VWAP is greater than the Floor Price for a period of five consecutive trading days, unless a subsequent triggering date occurs.

The Company, at its option, has the right, but not the obligation, to repay early in cash a portion or all amounts outstanding under the YA Convertible Debentures, provided that the VWAP of the Common Stock is less than the Fixed Price during a period of three consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date on which the Company delivers a notice to Yorkville of its intent and such notice is delivered at least ten trading days prior to the date on which the Company will make such payment. If elected, the early repayment amount is to include a 5.0% redemption premium (“Redemption Premium”). If any event of default has occurred, the full amount outstanding under the Loan plus the Redemption Premium, together with interest and other amounts owed in respect thereof, will become, at Yorkville’s election, immediately due and payable in cash.

11. Leases

The Company has entered into various lease agreements for office and manufacturing spaces.

Justin Texas Lease

On January 31, 2023, the Company entered into a real estate lease for an approximately 8,000 square foot facility in Justin, Texas with an entity owned by Tony Aquila, Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of the Company. The initial lease term is three years, five months, commencing on November 1, 2022, and terminating on March 31, 2026, with one option to extend the term of the lease for an additional five years. Prior to execution, the contract was a month-to-month arrangement. The total minimum lease payments over the initial lease term is $0.3 million.

Oklahoma Manufacturing Facility Lease

On November 9, 2022, the Company entered into a PSA with Terex for the purchase of approximately 630,000 square foot vehicle manufacturing facility on approximately 121 acres in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. On April 7, 2023, pursuant to the assignment of real estate purchase agreement, the Company assigned the right to purchase the Property to I-40 Partners, a special purpose vehicle managed by entities affiliated with the CEO. The Company then entered into a lease agreement with I-40 Partners commencing April 7, 2023. The lease term is approximately ten years with a five year renewal option and the minimum aggregate lease payment over the initial term is expected to be approximately $44.3 million, which includes an equity portion of rent composed of $1.5 million fully vested non-refundable shares. Refer to Note 16 on warrants issued in conjunction with this lease.

The lease was evaluated as a sale and leaseback of real estate because the Company was deemed to control the asset once the rights under the PSA were assigned to I-40 Partners. The Company accounted for the transaction as a financing lease since the lease agreement contains a repurchase option which precludes sale and leaseback accounting. The purchase option is exercisable between the third and fourth anniversary of the lease commencement in the greater of the fair value or a 150.0% of the amounts incurred by Landlord for the purchase price for the Property, the construction allowance, and expenses incurred with the purchase of the Property.

The lease did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting and was accounted for as a financing obligation. Under a failed sale-leaseback transaction, the real estate assets are generally recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and depreciated over their useful lives while a failed sale and leaseback financing obligation is recognized for the proceeds. As a result, the Company recorded an asset and a corresponding finance liability in the amount of the purchase price of $34.2 million. The financing liability at inception was initially allocated to the warrants issued to I-40 valued at $0.9 million described in Note 16 and the derivative liability valued at $0.6 million described in Note 4.

As described above, for the failed sale and leaseback transaction, the Company reflects the real estate asset on the Balance Sheets in Property and equipment, net as if the Company was the legal owner, and continue to recognize depreciation expense over the estimated useful life. The Company does not recognize rent expense related to the lease but has recorded a liability for the failed sale and leaseback obligation and monthly interest expense. The Company could not readily determine the implicit rate in the lease, and therefore imputed an interest rate of approximately 10.0%. There have been no gains or losses recorded in connection with the transactions described above.

As of September 30, 2024, future minimum payments under the failed sale leaseback are as follows (in thousands):


2024	$	886
2025	3,635
2026	4,097
2027	4,302
2028	4,384
Thereafter	21,647
Total payments	$	38,951

Lease Portfolio

The Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on information available at lease commencement to determine the present value of lease payments when the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The weighted-average discount rate used was 6.7%. As of September 30, 2024, the remaining operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liability were $30.2 million and $36.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liability were $36.2 million and $38.8 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $3.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of the lease liability was determined to be short term and was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Related party lease expense related to the Company's leases in Justin, Texas was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Related party lease expense related to the Company's

Table of Contents

leases in Justin, Texas was $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Certain lease agreements also provide the Company with the option to renew for additional periods. These renewal options are not considered in the remaining lease term unless its reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. The weighted average remaining lease term as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 was 8.0 years and 8.7 years, respectively.

Throughout the term of the lease agreements, the Company is responsible for paying certain operating costs, in addition to rent, such as common area maintenance, taxes, utilities, and insurance. These additional charges are considered variable lease costs and are recognized in the period in which costs are incurred.

Maturities of the Company’s operating lease liabilities at September 30, 2024 were as follows (in thousands):


	Operating Lease
2024	$	1,403
2025	5,728

As the value of the liabilities required to be subsequently measured at fair value exceeded the proceeds received, the Company recognized the excess of the fair value over the proceeds received as a loss upon issuance of preferred stock of $25.6 million within Loss on fair value change in convertible debt and other.

Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock can be paid in either cash or in kind in the form of additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock, at the option of the Series C Preferred Stock Purchasers, subject to certain exceptions. The Company will pay dividends whether in cash or in kind at a rate of 7.5% per annum (“Series C Dividend Rate”), subject to certain adjustments and exceptions. On and after the Series C First Reset Date, the Series C Dividend Rate on the Series C Preferred Stock will increase by 1.5% per Payment Period. As of September 30, 2024, the accumulated but not declared or paid dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock were $0.5 million.

Based on an evaluation of the terms, the Company determined that the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock are not eligible for permanent equity classification. Under GAAP, the Company is required to assume cash-settlement of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock in a conversion scenario that requires delivery of shares in excess of their respective share issuance exchange cap pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635. Accordingly, the Company presents the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock outside of permanent equity (i.e., the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock are presented in mezzanine equity).

The Company determined that cash settlement or redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock is unlikely; therefore, the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock are not currently redeemable or probable of becoming redeemable. As a result of the increasing rate dividend described above, the Company uses the interest method to accrete the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock from the initial recognized value to its expected settlement value on the expected redemption date.

15. Stock-based Compensation

2024 CEO Equity Awards

On February 29, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders to approve the issuance of a performance-vesting restricted stock unit award (the “CEO PSUs”) representing the right to receive 1.7 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock, 50.0% of which may vest based on the achievement of certain cumulative Company revenue milestones for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and for the twenty-four months ended December 31, 2025, and 50% of which may vest based on certain thresholds relating to the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Common Stock any time during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and the twenty-four months ended December 31, 2025, subject to continuous services requirements through the applicable service vesting date. Additionally, the approval also included the issuance of a restricted stock unit award (the “CEO RSUs” and, together with the “CEO PSUs”, the “CEO Equity Awards”) representing the right to receive 3.4 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock, the initial 50.0% of which vested immediately and the latter 50.0% of which will vest in equal increments on January 1, 2025 and January 1, 2026.

In connection with the issuance of the CEO Equity Awards, previously granted restricted stock units were automatically cancelled and forfeited. The cancellation of prior awards and issuance of the CEO Equity Awards was determined to be a modification. At the modification date, the vesting conditions for all awards besides a tranche of CEO PSUs that vest upon achievement of revenue milestones were expected to be satisfied. The incremental stock-based compensation expense recognized as a result of the modification of the awards during the three and nine ended September 30, 2024 was $1.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company granted stock to compensate existing employees and attract top talent, primarily through various forms of equity, including restricted stock unit awards (“RSU”). Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Common Stock. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, 2.1 million and 5.9 million RSUs, inclusive of the CEO RSUs, were granted subject to time-based vesting, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, 9.6 million and 19.1 million RSUs, inclusive of the CEO RSUs, were granted subject to time-based vesting, respectively.

Table of Contents

The total fair value of restricted stock units granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $5.1 million and $13.8 million, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock units granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $5.9 million and $12.7 million, respectively.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

Performance stock unit awards (“PSU”) represent the right to receive a share of Common Stock if service, performance, and market conditions, or a combination thereof, are met over a defined period. PSUs that contain a market condition, such as stock price milestones, are subject to a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the grant date fair value by simulating a range of possible future stock prices for the Company over the performance period. The grant date fair value of the market condition PSUs is recognized as compensation expense over the greater of the Monte Carlo simulation model’s derived service period and the arrangement’s explicit service period, assuming both conditions must be met.

PSUs subject to performance conditions, such as operational milestones, are measured on the grant date, the total fair value of which is calculated as the product of the number of PSUs and the grant date stock price. Compensation expense for PSUs with a performance condition is recorded each period based upon a probability assessment of the expected outcome of the performance metric with a final adjustment upon measurement at the end of the performance period. The PSUs vest based on the Company's achievement of certain specified operational milestones by various dates through December 2025. The Company granted zero PSUs to employees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, except as noted below as it relates to the CEO. As of September 30, 2024, the Company's analysis determined that these operational milestone events are probable of achievement and as such, compensation expense, excluding the impact of forfeitures, of $0.1 million and $0.5 million has been recognized for the previously awarded PSUs to employees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The compensation expense recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

There were zero and 1.7 million PSUs granted to the CEO during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively with a grant date fair value of $0.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively. There were zero PSUs granted to the CEO during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The compensation expense recognized for PSUs to the CEO was $0.5 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The compensation expense recognized for PSUs to the CEO was $3.5 million and $10.6 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock-based compensation expense by line item for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

Walmart Warrants

On July 11, 2022, Canoo Sales, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Electric Vehicle Fleet Purchase Agreement (the “Walmart EV Fleet Purchase Agreement") with Walmart. Pursuant to the Walmart EV Fleet Purchase Agreement, subject to certain acceptance and performance criteria, Walmart agreed to purchase at least 4,500 EVs, with an option to purchase up to an additional 5,500 EVs, for an agreed upon capped price per unit determined based on the EV model. The Walmart EV Fleet Purchase Agreement (excluding any work order or purchase order as a part thereof) has a five-year term, unless earlier terminated.

In connection with the Walmart EV Fleet Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Warrant Issuance Agreement with Walmart pursuant to which the Company issued to Walmart a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 2.7 million shares of Common Stock, subject to certain anti-dilutive adjustments, at an exercise price of $49.45 per share, which represented approximately 20.0% ownership in the Company on a fully diluted basis as of the issuance date. As a result of the anti-dilution adjustments, as of September 30, 2024, the warrant is exercisable for an aggregate of 2.9 million shares of Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $44.87. The warrant has a term of 10 years and is vested with respect to 0.7 million shares of Common Stock. The warrant will vest quarterly in amounts proportionate with the net revenue realized by the Company from transactions with Walmart or its affiliates under the Walmart EV Fleet Purchase Agreement or enabled by any other agreement between the Company and Walmart, and any net revenue attributable to any products or services offered by Walmart or its affiliates related to the Company, until such net revenue equals $300.0 million, at which time the warrant will have vested fully.

Since the counterparty is also a customer, the issuance of the warrant was determined to be consideration payable to a customer within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and was measured at fair value on the warrant’s issuance date. Accordingly, the warrant vested immediately, which resulted in a corresponding deferred warrant asset presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under ASC 606 that will be amortized on a pro-rata basis, commencing upon initial performance, over the term of the Walmart EV Fleet Purchase Agreement.

Table of Contents

The fair value of the warrant at the issuance date was measured using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The key inputs used in the valuation were as follows:



Expected term (years)	10.0
Risk free interest rate	3.0		%
Expected volatility	91.3		%
Dividend yield	—		%
Exercise price	$	49.45

19. Subsequent Events

July 2024 PPA - Second Supplemental Agreement

On October 11, 2024 (the “October Supplemental Date”), the Company entered into a Supplemental Agreement (the “Second Supplemental Agreement”) with Yorkville to the July 2024 PPA. Pursuant to the Second Supplemental Agreement, Yorkville agreed to advance $2.7 million to the Company (the “Second Supplemental Advance”).

After giving effect to the commitment fee and the purchase price discount provided for in the July 2024 PPA, net proceeds of the Second Supplemental Advance to the Company were $2.5 million. The Second Supplemental Advance will be offset upon the issuances of shares of Common Stock at a Purchase Price equal to the lower of (i) $1.11 per share and (ii) the YA Variable Price; provided that in no event shall the Purchase Price be less than the July PPA Floor Price.

In connection with the Second Supplemental Advance, on the October Supplemental Date, the Company issued to Yorkville a warrant to purchase 1.2 million shares of Common Stock each at an exercise price of $1.11 per share, exercisable beginning on April 11, 2025 and with an expiration date of October 11, 2029 (the “October YA Warrant”). The October YA Warrant includes customary adjustment provisions for stock splits, combinations and similar events.

Second ATM Consent Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of each of the Current Yorkville PPAs, the Company may enter into an “at the market offering” or other continuous offering or similar offering of Common Stock with a registered broker-dealer, whereby the Company may sell Common Stock at a future determined price; provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to execute transactions under such agreement unless (i) an Amortization Event (as defined in the Current Yorkville PPAs) has occurred and is continuing, or (ii) there is no balance outstanding under all prior Prepaid Advances (as defined in the Current Yorkville PPAs).

On the October Supplemental Date, the Company and Yorkville entered into a second Omnibus Consent to Pre-Paid Advance Agreements (the “Second ATM Consent Agreement”) pursuant to which solely with respect to the period beginning on the October Supplemental Date and ending at the close of business on November 22, 2024 (such time period, the “Applicable ATM Time Period”), the Company will be allowed to utilize the Current ATM Offering at its discretion; provided that, other than the proceeds from the remaining Initial ATM Sales, the Company and Yorkville will, subject to the redemption premium set forth in the Current Yorkville PPAs, evenly split 50%/50% any gross proceeds receivable by the Company from sales of Common Stock pursuant to the Current ATM Offering during the Applicable ATM Time Period; provided further that any further sales under the Current ATM Offering subsequent to the Applicable ATM Time Period will require Yorkville’s prior written consent.

Additional Borrowings

On October 18, 2024, the Company issued an Unsecured Grid Promissory Note (the “Note”) to AFV Management Advisors, LLC (“AFVMA”), an entity affiliated with Mr. Aquila, the Company’s CEO, in the initial principal amount of $0.8 million. The Note provides that the Company may, from time to time request additional advances from AFVMA in such greater amount as shall be mutually agreed, which will be added to the Note. On October 21, 2024, the Company requested, and AFVMA agreed to fund, a second advance in an amount equal to $0.3 million under the Note, which was received on October 21, 2024.

On October 30, 2024 and November 1, 2024, the Company requested, and AFVMA agreed to fund, additional advances of $2.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively, under the Note. As of November 5, 2024, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Note was $3.8 million. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid portion of the principal amount at a fixed rate of 11% per annum, payable monthly.

On November 5, 2024, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Facility Agreement and related Security Agreement with AFVMA (the “Secured WC Facility”), under which AFVMA may provide working capital advances to the Company of up to $12.0 million for a period of up to 12 months, which advances are secured by a first priority lien and security interest on the Company’s subsidiary’s equipment located at the Company’s Oklahoma City facility, and by a pledge of certain cash proceeds from the future release of cash collateral securing the Company’s obligations under a letter of credit issued to a third party. On the same day, the Company borrowed an initial amount of $3.9 million under the Secured WC Facility, and used the proceeds to repay all principal and interest due under the Note, and subsequently borrowed an additional $3.0 million under the Secured WC Facility through the date of this filing. Any additional advances beyond what has already been borrowed are subject to AFV’s discretion. There can be no assurance that any further advances under the Secured Credit Facility will be available to the Company.

Table of Contents

The Secured WC Facility contains customary covenants and conditions, including a restriction on the Company or its subsidiaries pledging their assets to another party, and customary events of default. Advances under the Secured WC Facility bear interest at the One-Month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 6.00%, with interest paid monthly, and principal to be repaid within 120 days of being drawn. The Company may prepay amounts due under the Secured Credit Facility Note in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty.

Workforce Reduction

On October 31, 2024, the Company announced it will temporarily reduce its workforce in Oklahoma City by furloughing 23% of its factory workers for a period of twelve weeks as part of a broader realignment of its North American operations. This reduction is a continuation of the Company’s efforts to consolidate its U.S. workforce as it prepares for the next phase of growth.

Waiver to Pre-Paid Advance Agreement

On November 13, 2024, Canoo Inc. executed a Limited Waiver to Pre-Paid Advance Agreements with YA II PN, LTD.(the “Limited Waiver”), waiving all existing events of default as of the date of the agreement, subject to Canoo Inc.'s compliance with all of its obligations under the financing documents executed between the parties. The event of default related to the company’s stock price being below the Floor Price for five of the preceding seven trading days July 2024 without monthly repayments of amounts outstanding under the Pre-Paid Advance Agreements. The waiver is subject to Canoo Inc.'s obligation to evenly split 50%/50% any gross proceeds receivable from sales of Common Stock pursuant to the ATM offering during the Applicable ATM Time Period (as defined in the Omnibus Consent to Pre-Paid Advance Agreements, discussed in Note 19). The terms and conditions of the Financing Documents remain unmodified and in full force and effect, except as specifically provided in the Limited Waiver.

Overview

Canoo Inc. (“Canoo” or the “Company”) is a high tech advanced mobility technology company with a proprietary modular electric vehicle platform and connected services initially focused on commercial fleet, government and military customers. The Company has developed a breakthrough EV platform that it believes will enable it to rapidly innovate, iterate and bring new products, addressing multiple use cases, to market faster than our competition and at lower cost. Our vehicle architecture and design philosophy are aimed at driving productivity and returning capital to our customers, and we believe the software and technology capabilities we are developing, packaged around a modular, customizable product, have the potential to empower the customer experience across a vehicle’s lifecycle. We have commercialized our first production vehicles and are delivering them to customers. We remain committed to the environment and to delivering sustainable mobility to our customers to support them in meeting their net zero emissions goals. We are proudly manufacturing our fully electric vehicles in Oklahoma and are committed to building a diverse workforce that will draw heavily upon the local communities of Native Americans and Veterans.

We believe we are one of the first automotive manufacturers focused on monetizing value across the entirety of the vehicle lifecycle, across multiple owners. Our platform and data architecture is purpose-built to be durable and serve as the foundation for the vehicles we intend to offer, unlocking a highly differentiated, multi-layer business model. The foundational layer is our Multi-Purpose Platform (“MPP-1” or “platform”) architecture, which serves as the base of our vehicles. Our first production vehicles are the Lifestyle Delivery Vehicle, including the Lifestyle Delivery Vehicle 130 and Lifestyle Delivery Vehicle 190. Future models will include the Lifestyle Vehicle ("LV") in its Base, Premium, and Adventure trims; the Multi-Purpose Delivery Vehicle (“MPDV”) and the Pickup. The next layer is cybersecurity which is embedded in our vehicle to ensure the privacy and protection of vehicle data. Our top hats, or cabins, are modular and purpose-built to provide tailored solutions for our customers. This intentional design enables us to efficiently use resources to produce only what is necessary, underscoring our focus on sustainability and returning capital to customers. The remaining layers, connected accessories and digital customer ecosystem, present high-margin opportunities that extend beyond the initial vehicle sale, across multiple owners. In addition, there are opportunities for software sales throughout the vehicle life, including predictive maintenance and service software or advanced driver assistance systems (“ADAS”) upgrades.

Our platform architecture is a self-contained, fully functional rolling chassis that directly houses the most critical components for operation of an EV, including our in-house designed proprietary electric drivetrain, battery systems, advanced vehicle control electronics and software and other critical components, which all have been optimized for functional integration. Both our true steer-by-wire system, believed to be the first such system applied to a production-intent vehicle, and our transverse composite leaf-spring suspension system are core components of our platform’s differentiated functionality, enabling the development of a broad range of vehicle types and use cases due to the chassis’ flat profile and fully variable steering positions. All of our announced EVs, including the Lifestyle Delivery Vehicle 130, the Lifestyle Delivery Vehicle 190, the LV, the MPDV and the Pickup, will share a common platform architecture paired with different top hats to create a range of uniquely customized and use case optimized purpose-built mobility solutions targeting multiple segments of the rapidly expanding EV marketplace.

Table of Contents

In addition to our vehicle technology, we are developing an in-house designed and proprietary software platform that aggregates car data from both Canoo and non-Canoo vehicles and delivers valuable insights to our customers. Collected over-the-air for connected vehicles or via an on-board diagnostics (“OBD”) device for non-connected vehicles, we believe car data is critical to powering the customer journey and maximizing utility and value from the vehicle ownership experience. Leveraging our data aggregation platform, we aim to create the Canoo Digital Ecosystem, an application store that centralizes all vehicle information for customers and provides key tools across Security & Safety, Household Vehicle Management, Fleet Management, Lifecycle Management and Vehicle Asset Management. Through our software offering, we believe we can provide substantial value to customers by staying connected throughout the vehicle lifecycle, across multiple owners.

As a Technology Equipment Manufacturer (TEM), Canoo is dedicated to developing vehicles that prioritize high performance, design excellence and seamless integration of purpose-built hardware and proprietary software. The core of Canoo's technology is in its Multi-Purpose Platform (MPP) architecture which has been meticulously engineered for durability and versatility, enabling a wide range of use cases. Our integrated software delivers user-centric features and functions that enable the generation of valuable data-driven insights for both fleet operators and consumers. Ultimately, Canoo strives to provide a connected, safe, and personalized driving experience by harnessing advanced vehicle technology.

Core to our values is delivering high quality products while empowering local communities, which drove our decision to build in America and source a majority of our parts from America and allied nations. We believe vertical integration across our manufacturing and assembly process will enable us to achieve in-house scale production with less supply chain risk and provide us better oversight of our vehicle manufacturing. We are building production facilities in states and communities that are investing in high-tech manufacturing alongside us, creating American jobs and driving innovation.

We have made strategic investments in our technology and products that position us to capture three large and growing markets - commercial and passenger vehicles, upfitting and accessories, and telematics data.

We continue to innovate and develop every aspect of our business, from capturing opportunities beyond the traditional business model to our built in America, highly utilitarian vehicles optimized to return capital to our customers. We believe being forward-thinking across these areas has set the foundation for us to develop into a scalable business that is differentiated from our peers across the automotive original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) landscape.

Recent Developments

We operate in a capital-intensive industry which requires significant cash to fund our operations. Our business plan anticipates capital expenditures to continue to be significant for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop and grow our business. As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately $1.5 million in cash and cash equivalents. On November 5, 2024, the Company entered into a Secured WC Facility, under which AFVMA may provide working capital advances to the Company of up to $12.0 million for a period of up to 12 months, which advances are secured by a first priority lien and security interest on the Company’s subsidiary’s equipment located at the Company’s Oklahoma City facility, and by a pledge of certain cash proceeds from the future release of cash collateral securing the Company’s obligations under a letter of credit issued to a third party. As of November 6, 2024 our cash position was $0.7 million.

While we have secured this financing and are seeking to preserve cash, including through the offering of stock to pay suppliers when available, we will need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our operations through the end of 2024 and beyond. Refer to Part II. Item 1A for additional information and risk factors related to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Refer to Item 1. Note 19 for information regarding other recent events.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

We believe that our performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below.

Availability of Financing Sources and Commercialization of Our EVs

We expect to derive future revenue from our first vehicle offerings. In order to reach commercialization, we must purchase and integrate related property and equipment, as well as achieve several research and development milestones.

Table of Contents

Our capital and operating expenditures have increased significantly in connection with our ongoing activities and we expect they will continue to increase, as we:

•continue to invest in our technology, research and development efforts;

•compensate existing personnel;

•invest in manufacturing capacity, via our owned facilities;

•increase our investment in marketing, advertising, sales and distribution infrastructure for our EVs and services;

•obtain, maintain and improve our operational, financial and management information systems;

•hire additional personnel;

•commercialize our EVs;

•obtain, maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio; and

•continue to operate as a public company.

As noted above, we require substantial additional capital to develop our EVs and services and fund our operations for the foreseeable future. We will also require capital to identify and commit resources to investigate new areas of demand. Until we can generate sufficient revenue from vehicle sales, we are financing our operations through access to private and public equity offerings and debt financings. Management believes substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the date of issuance of the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Macroeconomic Conditions

Current adverse macroeconomic conditions, including but not limited to heightened inflation, slower growth or recession, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, higher interest rates, currency fluctuations and challenges in the supply chain could negatively affect our business.

Increased demand for semiconductor chips in 2020, due in part to increased demand for consumer electronics that use these chips, resulted in a global shortage of chips in 2021 that has continued into 2024. As a result, our ability to source semiconductor chips used in our vehicles may be adversely affected. This shortage may result in increased chip delivery lead times, delays in the production of our vehicles, and increased costs to source available semiconductor chips.

Although we have made our best estimates based upon current information, actual results could materially differ from the estimates and assumptions developed by management. Accordingly, it is reasonably possible that the estimates made in the financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, and if so, we may be subject to future impairment losses related to long-lived assets as well as changes to valuations.

Key Components of Statements of Operations

Basis of Presentation

Currently, we conduct business through one operating segment. We are an early stage-growth company with limited commercial activities to date, which are primarily conducted in the United States. For more information about our basis of presentation, refer to Item 1. Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Revenue and Cost of Revenues

Revenue included vehicle revenues resulting from the delivery of our vehicles to our customers as well as revenues derived from other activities including sales of battery modules and providing engineering services to our customers. We generated total revenue of $0.9 million and $1.5 million during the three and nine months ended

Table of Contents

September 30, 2024, respectively. We generated total revenue of $0.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Cost of revenue primarily included costs to produce vehicles, including direct parts, material and labor costs, machinery and tooling depreciation, and shipping and logistics costs. Cost of revenue also included materials, labor and other direct costs related to the development of battery modules and providing of engineering services. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we generated a positive gross margin of $0.7 million resulting from the completion of certain engineering services. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we realized a negative gross margin of $0.5 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we realized negative gross margins of $0.4 million.

The negative gross margins were primarily due to the initial deliveries of low-volume, custom-built vehicles. We expect gross margin to improve on a per-vehicle basis as we increase overall production levels and lower our material and labor costs through economies of scale.

Research and Development Expenses, excluding Depreciation

Research and development expenses, excluding depreciation were $17.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $22.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease of $4.5 million, or 20% was primarily due to a decrease in salary and related benefit expense of $7.5 million, partially offset by an increase in research and development costs of $3.1 million.

Research and development expenses, excluding depreciation, were $60.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $107.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease of $47.0 million, or 44% was primarily due to decreases in salary and related benefit expense of $26.6 million, research and development costs of $10.8 million, stock-based compensation expense of $6.4 million, travel and entertainment expense of $1.1 million, and shipping and postage expense of $0.9 million.

Salary and related benefit expense decreased by $7.5 million, or 33%, to $15.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $22.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023. Salary and related benefit expense decreased by $26.6 million, or 35%, to $48.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $75.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decreases in salary and related expense was primarily due to changes in headcount mix from engineering to manufacturing, turnover of employees and a decrease in temporary employees driven by the Company's focus on essential activities.

Research and development costs increased by $3.1 million to $2.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Research and development costs decreased by $10.8 million, or 61%, to $6.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $17.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decreases in research and development cost was primarily due to reduced spending related to engineering and design, gamma parts, and prototype tooling resulting from the transition to initiatives related to commencing low-volume production.

Stock-based compensation expense decreased by $6.4 million, or 128%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, when compared to $5.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense was primarily due to forfeiture of restricted stock resulting from headcount reductions. See further discussion in Note 15, Stock-based Compensation, of the notes to our accompanying financial statements.

Shipping and postage expense decreased by $0.9 million, or 37%, to $1.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in shipping and postage expense was primarily due to decreased shipping activity and related costs as well as general office expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, excluding Depreciation

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $22.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $24.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease of $2.3 million or 9% was primarily due to decreases in stock-based compensation expense of $3.3 million, salary and benefits expense of $1.5 million, partially offset by an increase in professional fees of $2.7 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $77.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $85.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease of $7.9 million or 9% was primarily due to the decrease in salary and benefits expense of $5.8 million and information technology expense of $2.9 million, partially offset by an increase in professional fees of $2.3 million.

Stock-based compensation expense decreased by $3.3 million, or 52%, in the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $6.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in stock-based compensation was primarily due to forfeiture of restricted stock resulting from headcount reductions, and graded vesting of stock-based compensation expense. See further discussion in Note 15, Stock-based Compensation, of the notes to our accompanying financial statements.

Salary and related benefit expense decreased by $1.5 million, or 23%, to $5.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $6.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023. Salary and related benefit expense decreased by $5.8 million, or 25%, to $17.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $22.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decreases in salary and related expense were primarily due to changes in headcount driven by reductions in non-essential functions.

Professional fees expense increased by $2.7 million, or 100%, to $5.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023, due primarily to higher higher legal, consulting and recruiting fees. Professional fees expense increased by $2.3 million, or 16%, to $16.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $14.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to higher consulting and recruiting fees, partially offset by lower legal fees.

Information technology expense decreased by $2.9 million, or 22%, to $10.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $13.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in information technology expense was primarily due to initiatives to provide cost effective solutions aligned with current needs.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation expense increased by $2.3 million, or 151%, to $3.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023. Depreciation expense of $10.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was comparable to $10.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $1.8 million, or 43%, to $2.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $4.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023. Interest expense increased by $2.8 million, or 42%, to $9.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The differences were primarily due to changes in the levels of convertible debt described in Note 10, Convertible Debt, of the notes to our accompanying financial statements.

Gain on Fair Value Change in Contingent Earnout Shares Liability

Gain on fair value change in contingent earnout shares liability was nominal for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and nominal for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decreases were a result of the periodic remeasurement of the fair value of our contingent earnout shares liability, primarily driven by the declining stock price.

Gain on Fair Value Change in Warrant and Derivative Liability

Gain on fair value change in warrant and derivative liability increased by $44.6 million, or 261%, to $61.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $17.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023. Gain on fair value change in warrant and derivative liability increased by $60.5 million, or 151%, to $100.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $40.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The changes were primarily due to the fair value change of the corresponding warrant liability related to warrants discussed in Note 16,Warrants, of the notes to our accompanying financial statements.. The number of outstanding warrants increased as a result of the March WC&E Agreement and Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company recognized a gain related to derivative liabilities in the three months ended and nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to changes in fair value of the derivatives identified within Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement.

Table of Contents

Loss on Fair Value of Derivative Asset

The loss on fair value of derivative asset of $3.8 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the fair value change of the derivative assets related to Prepaid Advance Agreement, which was subsequently revalued to zero as the result of the change to the minimum price approved at the October Special Meeting, as discussed in Note 10, Convertible Debt, of the notes to our accompanying financial statements.

Gain (Loss) on Extinguishment of Debt and Other

Loss on extinguishment of debt was $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a loss of $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and a gain of $22.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a loss of $30.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The changes were due to repayments and extinguishments of the Yorkville PPAs and Convertible Debentures discussed in Note 10, Convertible Debt, of the notes to our accompanying financial statements.

Gain (Loss) on Fair Value Change in Convertible Debt and Other

Gain on fair value change of convertible debt was $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to a loss of $69.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and a loss of $62.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a loss of $69.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The changes were primarily due to the Company electing the fair value option for debt instruments issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, discussed in Note 10, Convertible Debt, of the notes to our accompanying financial statements.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other expense, net was nominal for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $0.5 million of other income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and $1.1 million of other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2.3 million of other expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Factors affecting Other income (expense), net were related to miscellaneous incentive and other income, all individually immaterial.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operational performance. We use the following non-GAAP measures to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors in assessing our operating performance.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

“EBITDA” is defined as net loss before interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, and depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, asset impairments, non-routine legal fees, and other costs associated with exit and disposal activities, acquisition and related costs, changes to the fair value of contingent earnout shares liability, changes to the fair value of warrant and derivative liability, changes to the fair value of the derivative asset, changes to the fair value of convertible debt, loss on extinguishment of debt, and any other one-time non-recurring transaction amounts impacting the statement of operations during the year. "Adjusted Net Loss" is defined as net loss adjusted for stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, asset impairments, non-routine legal fees, and other costs associated with exit and disposal activities, acquisition and related costs, changes to the fair value of contingent earnout shares liability, changes to the fair value of warrants and derivative liability, changes to the fair value of the derivative asset, changes to the fair value of convertible debt, loss on extinguishment of debt, and any other one-time non-recurring transaction amounts impacting the statement of operations during the year. "Adjusted EPS" is defined as Adjusted Net Loss on a per share basis using the weighted average shares outstanding.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS are intended as a supplemental measure of our performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS when combined with net loss and net loss per share are beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. We believe that the use of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating

Table of Contents

results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, you should be aware that when evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS in the same fashion.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We manage our business utilizing EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS as supplemental performance measures.

These non-GAAP financial measures, when presented, are reconciled to the most closely comparable U.S. GAAP measure as disclosed below for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2024, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $1.5 million, which were primarily invested in money market funds that consist of liquid debt securities issued by the U.S. government. In assessing our liquidity requirements and cash needs, we also consider contractual obligations to which we are a party. Additionally, see discussion related to the operating lease maturity schedule and any new leases entered into in Note 11 of the notes to our accompanying financial statements.

We have incurred and expect to incur, net losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $1.6 billion as of September 30, 2024. Management continues to explore raising additional capital through a combination of debt financing, other non-dilutive financing and/or equity financing to supplement the Company’s capitalization and liquidity. If and as we raise additional funds by incurring loans or by issuing debt securities or preferred stock, these forms of financing have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of holders of our Common Stock. The availability and the terms under which we are able to raise additional capital could be disadvantageous, and the terms of debt financing or other non-dilutive financing involve restrictive covenants and dilutive financing instruments, which could place significant restrictions on our operations. Macroeconomic conditions and credit markets are also impacting the availability and cost of potential future debt financing. As we raise capital through the issuance of additional equity, such sales and issuance has and will continue to dilute the ownership interests of the existing holders of Common Stock. There can be no assurances that any additional debt, other non-dilutive and/or equity financing would be available to us on favorable terms or at all. We expect to continue to incur net losses, comprehensive losses, and negative cash flows from operating activities in accordance with our operating plan as we continue to expand our research and development activities to complete the development of our EVs, establish our go-to-market model and scale our operations to meet anticipated demand. We

Table of Contents

expect that both our capital and operating expenditures will increase significantly in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:

•continue to invest in our technology, research and development efforts;

•compensate existing personnel;

•invest in manufacturing capacity, via our owned facilities;

•increase our investment in marketing, advertising, sales and distribution infrastructure for our EVs and services;

•obtain, maintain and improve our operational, financial and management information systems;

•hire additional personnel;

•commercialize our EVs;

•obtain, maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio; and

•operate as a public company.

As of the date of this report, we believe that our existing cash resources and additional sources of liquidity are not sufficient to support planned operations for the next 12 months. Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Cash Flows Summary

Presented below is a summary of our operating, investing and financing cash flows (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
Consolidated Cash Flow Statements Data	2024	2023
Net cash used in operating activities	(109,938)	$	(191,435)
Net cash used in investing activities	(9,730)	(45,376)
Net cash provided by financing activities	114,838	208,902

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities are significantly affected by the growth of our business primarily related to our investment in research and development as well as selling, general, and administrative activities. Our operating cash flow is also affected by our working capital needs to support growth in personnel-related expenditures and fluctuations in accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities.

Over 80% of our cash outflow from operating activities include payments related to employee salaries and benefits, professional fees, occupancy costs, information technology and research and development.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

We generally expect to experience negative cash flows from investing activities as we expand our business and continue to build our infrastructure. Cash flows from investing activities primarily relate to capital expenditures to support our growth.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 related to purchases of production tooling, machinery, and equipment to support manufacturing activities.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily consisted of proceeds from issuance of convertible debt of $136.0 million and issuance of Series C Preferred Stock of $16.5 million, offset by repayment of convertible debt of $48.2 million.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see the section titled “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, each included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have not, to date, been exposed to material market risks given our early stage of operations. Upon commencing commercial operations, we may be exposed to material market risks. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our current market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates applicable to our cash and cash equivalents. We had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1.5 million as of September 30, 2024. Our cash and cash equivalents were invested primarily in money market funds and are not invested for trading or speculative purposes. However, due to the short-term nature and the low-risk profile of the money market funds, we do not believe a sudden increase or decrease in market interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio.

Inflation Risk

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Inflationary factors such as increases in material costs (e.g., semiconductor chips) or overhead costs may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating costs upon commencing commercial operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Executive Chair and CEO and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. We have established and currently maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In

Table of Contents

designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On September 13, 2024, the Company was named as a defendant in a complaint filed in Michigan Circuit Court by Dana Limited, one of the Company’s suppliers. The complaint alleges that the Company breached a development and supply agreement between the parties, including for alleged nonpayment of several cost recovery items in excess of $8.5 million. The Company disagrees with the allegations and claims made in the complaint and filed a counterclaim against Dana Limited on October 4, 2024 alleging, among other things, breach of contract, breaches of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, negligent misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement and tortious interference. The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

For a description of any other material pending legal proceedings, please see Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, of the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any of the risk factors included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Additional risk factors not presently known to use or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Any changes as a result of our Employee Reorganization Plan could adversely affect and disrupt our business and results of operations.

On August 14, 2024, the Company implemented an employee reorganization plan (the “Employee Reorganization Plan”), which Employee Reorganization Plan includes permanently reducing the number of employees at our facility in Torrance, California (the “Torrance Facility”), and have issued a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act notice under both California state and federal law to all employees at the Torrance Facility. Although we have offered to relocate a majority of employees currently located at the Torrance Facility to the Company’s facilities in either Oklahoma or Texas, any personnel transition that may result could be difficult and inherently cause some loss of institutional knowledge and skills. In addition, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to retain the services of most or any of the personnel being offered relocation, which may disrupt our ability to execute our business strategies that may be adversely affected by the uncertainty associated with these personnel transitions. Further, as noted in Item 1. Note 5, we have recorded a reorganization and related exit costs activity charge of $16.1 million, we may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, our Employee Reorganization Plan. As a result, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected.

Our reorganizational plans and workforce reductions may not adequately reduce our operating costs or improve operating margins, may lead to additional workforce attrition, and may cause operational disruptions, and there can be no assurance that we will realize the anticipated benefits of such activities.

In addition to the Employee Reorganization Plan, on October 31, 2024, we announced a temporary reduction in our workforce in Oklahoma City by furloughing 23% of our factory workers for a period of twelve weeks as part of a broader realignment of its North American operations. These programs may yield unintended consequences, such as the loss of institutional knowledge and expertise, employee attrition beyond our intended reduction in force, a reduction in morale among our remaining employees, greater than anticipated costs incurred in connection with implementation, and the risks that we may not achieve our anticipated benefits to the extent or as quickly as we anticipates, if at all, all of which may materially adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition. Additionally, the workforce reduction we are implementing, though currently planned to be temporary, may negatively impact our ability to attract, integrate, retain and motivate highly qualified employees, make it difficult for us to pursue new opportunities and initiatives, and may harm our reputation with current or prospective employees.

Several of our key vendors, including some single-source suppliers, have sent us notices of nonpayment of amounts owed by us. Disputes with our suppliers or the termination of any of these supply relationships would hinder our ability to manufacture our products, and disputes could lead to material litigation or other actions.

We rely on third-party suppliers for the provision and development of many of the key components and materials used in our EVs, including several components with a single source supplier. If we fail to pay or settle amounts owed to our vendors in due course, our suppliers may terminate their relationships with us or seek legal recourse to recover on amounts believed to be owed. As noted in Item I above, in September 2024, Dana Limited filed a lawsuit against us alleging breaches of our supply agreements with them, including for nonpayment of amounts due, and seeking damages in excess of $8.5 million. While we disagree with the allegations and claims in the complain and have filed a counterclaim against Dana Limited, there can be no assurances as to the outcome of this litigation or any resulting judgments, the amounts of which could be material.

Additionally, we have also received demand letters or similar communications from other suppliers alleging nonpayment of amounts due. While we receive these communications in the ordinary course of business and all such amounts are reflected within our Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses in our balance sheet, if one or more suppliers were to seek legal action to recover on amounts they believe are past due, we could become involved in additional lawsuits or disputes or be subject to judgments if adjudicated adversely to us, which may be material. Additionally, these disagreements could negatively impact our relationships with such suppliers, some of which are key or single-source suppliers. While we continue to work with our suppliers and vendors to reach agreements or settlements of such amounts, including through the issuance of common stock, any disruption or termination of our supply agreements or legal actions could negatively impact our ability to manufacture our vehicles and our results of operations. Any of the foregoing could significantly impact the Company's ability to sustain its operations and continue as a going concern, which could result in the loss of all of your investment in our stock.

We may offer shares of our common stock in lieu of cash payments to vendors in an effort to preserve cash for our operations. Doing so may result in us issuing a significant amount of shares which could result in dilution to your investment.

In an effort to preserve cash, we have had and will continue to have discussions with vendors and suppliers to offer them shares of our common stock in lieu of cash for services rendered. Depending on market conditions, we may attempt to reach these agreements with as many vendors as is commercially feasible and on reasonable terms. The resulting issuances, if any, over the near term may reflect a significant percentage of our current outstanding stock, up to 19.9%, and investors are likely to experience dilution as a result.

We need to raise additional capital in the near term, and we currently do not have sufficient cash on hand to meet our near term obligations or capital requirements, which could jeopardize our ability to continue business operations or render us insolvent.

While we have entered into the Secured WC Facility to provide additional liquidity and are working to reach agreements with our key suppliers, we will need to raise substantial additional capital to fund operations through the end of 2024 to continue operations. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining additional funds on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or are unsuccessful in reaching agreements with existing vendors on disputed amounts, we likely be unable to satisfy our obligations and may become subject to further litigation or insolvency proceedings. Any of the foregoing would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, and may render the Company insolvent and unable to sustain its operations and continue as a going concern, which could result in the loss of all of your investment in our stock.

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a delisting of our securities.

On March 8, 2024, we effected a reverse stock split in order to increase the trading price of our Common Stock and comply with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Bid Price Requirement”). Our stock price has recently fallen under $1.00 and, although we have not received a notice of noncompliance from Nasdaq, we are seeking stockholder approval for an additional reverse stock split. If our stockholders do not approve our reverse stock split, or we again fail to satisfy this or any other continued listing requirement, Nasdaq

may take steps to delist our securities. Furthermore, under recently proposed Nasdaq rules, which are under SEC review, if the price of our Common Stock fails to satisfy the Bid Price Requirement within one year of the Company's previous reverse stock split effected on March 8, 2024 (or within one year of any other reverse stock split effected before the proposed rules come in effect), then our Common Stock would be subject to delisting by Nasdaq without any opportunity for a cure period. In the event the Company fails to regain compliance, the Company would have the right to a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”). There can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice and appeals the delisting determination by the Panel, such appeal would be successful. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock when you wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, we would take actions to restore our compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our Common Stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our securities or prevent future non compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements.

Rule 10b5-1

On November 13, 2024, Canoo Inc. executed a Limited Waiver to Pre-Paid Advance Agreements with YA II PN, LTD. (the “Limited Waiver”), waiving all existing events of default as of the date of the agreement, subject to Canoo Inc.'s compliance with all of its obligations under the financing documents executed between the parties. The event of default related to the company’s stock price being below the Floor Price for five of the preceding seven trading days July 2024 without monthly repayments of amounts outstanding under the Pre-Paid Advance Agreements. The waiver is subject to Canoo Inc.'s obligation to evenly split 50%/50% any gross proceeds receivable from sales of Common Stock pursuant to the ATM offering during the Applicable ATM Time Period (as defined in the Omnibus Consent to Pre-Paid Advance Agreements, discussed in Note 19). The terms and conditions of the Financing Documents remain unmodified and in full force and effect, except as specifically provided in the Limited Waiver.
