These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 under the heading “Risk Factors.” Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Aeva Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), through its Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (“FMCW”) sensing technology, designs a 4D LiDAR-on-chip that, along with its proprietary software applications, has the potential to enable the adoption of LiDAR across broad applications from automated driving to consumer electronics, consumer health, industrial automation and security application.

The Company’s common stock and warrants are listed on the New York Stock Exchange stock market under the symbols “AEVA” and "AEVA.WS".

Basis of Presentation and Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for any future annual or interim period.

These condensed consolidated financial statements and other information presented in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC.

On March 18, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-5 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, every five (5) shares of issued and outstanding shares of common stock were combined into one (1) share of common stock. Accordingly, unless we indicate otherwise, all the current period and historical per share data, number of shares issued and outstanding, stock awards, and other common stock equivalents for the periods presented in this Interim Report on Form 10-Q have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. There was no change to the shares authorized or in the par value per share of common stock of $0.0001.

The Reverse Stock Split affected all stockholders uniformly and did not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity. The Company did not issue fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who were otherwise entitled to fractional shares of common stock were instead entitled to receive a proportional cash payment. The number of shares of common stock issuable under our equity incentive plans and exercisable under the outstanding warrants were also proportionately adjusted.

Principles of Consolidation and Liquidity

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company has funded its operations primarily through the Business Combination (the “Business Combination”) with InterPrivate Acquisition Corp. (the Company’s predecessor, which was originally incorporated in Delaware as a special purpose acquisition company (“IPV”)) on March 12, 2021, and issuances of stock. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s existing sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $189.3 million. The Company has a limited history of operations and has incurred negative cash flows from operating activities and losses from operations in the past as reflected in the accumulated deficit of $494.9 million as of March 31, 2024. The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses due to the investments it intends to make in its business, including product development. Management believes that existing cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund operating and capital expenditure requirements through at least 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

Significant Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to those risks common in the technology industry and also those risks common to early stage companies including, but not limited to, the possibility of not being able to successfully develop or market its products, technological obsolescence, competition, dependence on key personnel and key external alliances, the successful protection of its proprietary technologies, compliance with government regulations, and the possibility of not being able to obtain additional financing when needed.

Table of Contents

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and trade receivables. The Company maintains the majority of its cash and cash equivalents in accounts with large financial institutions. At times, balances in these accounts may exceed federally insured limits; however, to date, the Company has not incurred any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents and believes the exposure to risk of loss is not material. Risks associated with the Company’s marketable securities is mitigated by investing in investment-grade rated securities when purchased.

The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from customers located in the United States, APAC, and Europe. The Company mitigates its credit risks by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions and requires customer advance payments in certain circumstances.

As of March 31, 2024, three customers accounted for 44%, 15% and 12% of the accounts receivable, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, one customer accounted for 42% of accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2024, one vendor accounted for 10% of the accounts payable. As of December 31, 2023, three vendors accounted for 12%, 11% and 11% each of the accounts payable, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 280):Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2023-07 to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2. Revenue

Disaggregation of Revenues

The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by geographic region based on the primary billing address of the customer and timing of transfer of goods or services to customers (point-in-time or over time), as it believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, based on the disaggregation criteria described above were as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024					2023

Revenue by primary geographical market:
North America	$	1,674		79	%	$	730		64	%

Total	$	2,107		100	%	$	1,148		100	%

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, two customers accounted for 39% and 36% of the Company’s revenue, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, three customers accounted for 20%, 19% and 17% of the Company’s revenue, respectively.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had contract assets of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, recognized in other current assets. As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had contract liabilities of $3.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, recognized in other current liabilities.

The fair value of the private placement and Series A warrant liabilities is based on significant unobservable inputs, which represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. In determining the fair value of the warrant liabilities, the Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value using unobservable inputs including the expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield.

Table of Contents

The following table presents a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments (in thousand):



	March 31, 2024			December 31, 2023
Fair value, beginning balance	$	6,772		$	90
Fair value at issuance of Series A warrants		—		$	6,450
Change in the fair value of Series A warrants included in other income (expense), net		450		$	300
Change in the fair value of private placement warrants included in other income (expense), net		(13	)		(68	)
Fair value, closing balance	$	7,209		$	6,772

The key inputs into the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the private warrants were as follows for the relevant periods:


	March 31, 2024			December 31, 2023

In November 2023, the Company made an investment in 700,440 Preferred Stock of a private company for a cash consideration of $5.0 million, which is classified as non-marketable equity investment. The Company’s investment in the private company represents less than 1% of total capitalization. The Company neither has significant influence over the private company nor does the investment amount to a controlling financial interest in the private company. The Company elected to apply the measurement alternative, and as such, records the investment at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from qualifying observable price changes in orderly transactions. During the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not identify any impairment or observable price changes for this non-marketable equity investment.

Note 9. Financing transaction

Private Investment

On November 8, 2023, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with entities affiliated with Sylebra Capital Limited (“Sylebra”) and Adage Capital Management, providing for the purchase of an aggregate of 7,360,460 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “PIPE Shares”), at a price of $2.90 per PIPE Share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $21.4 million (the “Private Placement”). The PIPE Shares are recorded as outstanding common stock.

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

Table of Contents

On November 8, 2023, the Company also entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) with entities affiliated with Sylebra, pursuant to which the Company will have the right, but not the obligation to sell to Sylebra up to $125 million of its shares of Preferred Stock, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, by November 8, 2026. Each sale the Company requests under the Facility Agreement (each, an “Advance” and collectively, the “Advances”) may be for a number of shares of preferred stock with an aggregate value of at least $25.0 million but not more than $50.0 million (except with Sylebra’s consent).

When and if issued, the preferred stock will be issued at a price per share of $10,000. Holders of the preferred stock will be entitled to a quarterly dividend at the rate of 7.0% per annum payable in cash or in kind at the option of the Company. The preferred stock will have an initial liquidation preference of $12,000 per share, plus accrued dividends. The preferred stock will have no voting rights as a class or series except in such instances as required by Delaware law or certain matters enumerated in the facility agreement related to the protection of the preferred stock.

The preferred stock will be convertible at the option of the holders into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to $10,000 divided by the then-applicable conversion price. At any time after the two year anniversary of any issuance of any series of preferred stock, the Company will have the option to convert all (but not less than all) of any series of then-outstanding preferred stock by paying a make-whole payment, in either stock or cash, equal to three years of dividends, provided that the closing price of the Common Stock exceeds 250% of the then-applicable conversion price for at least 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days prior to the date of conversion. To the extent, if any, a conversion would result in the holder thereof becoming the beneficial owner of more than 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, the Company will issue the Investor Pre-Funded Warrant in the form attached to the Facility Agreement. The preferred stock will be subject to customary pre-emptive rights.

The Company’s right to request Advances is conditioned upon the Company achieving a minimum of one new passenger auto-original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) or commercial OEM program award with at least a 50,000 unit volume, the trading price of the Common Stock being below $15 at the time of the Advance request and other customary conditions. Prior to any Advance, the Company will assess its capital needs and other factors, including the impact of an Advance on the Company’s outstanding executive pledge arrangements.

The Preferred Stock issued in connection with the facility agreement ranks senior to common stock upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The Preferred Stock is entitled to priority cumulative dividends which shall accrue daily from and after the original issue date of such share and shall compound on a quarterly basis on each dividend payment date. The accrued dividends shall in all cases be payable upon liquidation.

The Company shall pay dividends on each share of Preferred Stock in cash or in kind through issuance of shares of common stock with an aggregate value equal to the amount of the dividend to have been paid divided by the dividend conversion price. The board of directors of the Company may at its sole discretion elect to pay the dividends in cash in lieu of shares of common stock. The Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock have no voting rights unless they are converted into shares of common stock.

Holders may, at their option, elect to convert some or all Preferred Stock held by such holder, at any time and from time to time prior to a change of control, into a number of shares of common stock per share of the Preferred Stock equal to (x) the quotient of the issuance price divided by the conversion price in effect at the time of conversion. At any time on or after the two-year anniversary of the issuance date, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Preferred Stock of any holder outstanding at such time at the issuance price plus three (3) years of dividend payment (“Redemption price”); provided, that (a) the closing price of a share of common stock exceeds 250% of the then-applicable conversion price per share for at least 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days prior to the redemption date and (b) a shelf registration statement that is required to be effective pursuant to the registration rights agreement on such date shall be effective on such date with respect to the applicable holder. The redemption price shall be payable in cash or in shares of common stock. Additionally, upon the occurrence of a change of control, the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive in full a liquidating purchase in cash and in the amount per share of the Preferred Stock equal to the sum of (i) the liquidation preference plus (ii) accrued dividends with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock.

In connection with this financing, the Company also paid the entities affiliated with Sylebra, (a) a facility fee in the amount of $2.5 million, (b) an origination fee in the amount of $0.6 million, (c) an administrative fee in the amount of $0.3 million and (d) fees and expenses of the investor and its counsel, of approximately $0.4 million. The issuance costs related to the Facility Agreement were expensed as incurred as it failed to meet the equity classification guidance under ASC 815-40, and were deemed to be a derivative asset. The fair value of the derivative asset was not material as of and for the period ended March 31, 2024.

In addition, upon receipt of stockholder approval in December 2023, the Company issued to Sylebra 3,000,000 Series A Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 3,000,000 Series A Warrants outstanding. The Series A Warrants were issued as consideration for entering into the Facility Agreement as discussed above. Each Series A Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $5.00 per share. Each Series A Warrant is currently exercisable and expires in December 2027. Holders shall not have the right to exercise the Series A Warrants to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person would beneficially own in excess of 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend or split, subsequent rights offerings, pro rata purchases, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, or spin-off. However, the Series A Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of common stock at a price below their respective exercise prices. The Series A Warrants do not entitle the holders to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to being exercised for common stock.

The Company analyzed the Series A Warrants and determined that they are freestanding and do not exhibit any of the characteristics within ASC 480, and as such do not meet the characteristics of a liability under ASC 480. However, Series A Warrants do not meet all requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, and therefore are classified as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Note 12. Stock-based Compensation

Stock Options

The Company maintains the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “Stock Plans”) under which incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units (“RSU”) may be granted to employees. Under the Stock Plans, the Company has 3,677,480 shares available for issuance as of March 31, 2024.

Under the terms of the Stock Plans, incentive stock options must have an exercise price at or above the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant, while non-qualified stock options are permitted to be granted below fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. The majority of stock options granted have service-based vesting conditions only. The service-based vesting conditions vary, typically stock options vest over four years with 25% of stock options vesting on the first anniversary of the grant and the remaining 75% vesting monthly over the remaining 36 months. Option holders have a ten-year period to exercise the options before they expire.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity, for three months ended March 31, 2024, was as follows:


	Number of Options			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Outstanding as of December 31, 2023		2,414,730		$	2.79		5.73	$	4,004

Vested and expected to vest as of March 31, 2024		2,386,503		$	2.81		5.49	$	4,253

There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $0.5 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the stock options. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.65 years.

Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Performance-based Restricted Stock Units (“PBRSUs”)

In May 2023, the Company granted a total of 1,176,471 PBRSUs to certain executives that vest on achieving certain operational milestones as defined in the individual grant agreements subject to continued employment through 2025. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the expected performance achievement period of individual performance milestones when the achievement of each individual performance milestone becomes probable. If satisfaction of the performance condition is not probable, stock-based compensation cost recognition is deferred until it becomes probable. The Company reassesses the probability as to whether satisfaction of the performance condition is probable on a quarterly basis, and stock-based compensation cost is adjusted based on the portion of the requisite service provided. These PBRSUs neither carry rights to dividends nor voting rights until the shares are issued or transferred to the recipient. Awards are forfeited if an employee leaves the Company before the PBRSUs vest or the performance period lapses. The weighted-average grant date PBRSU fair value of $5.10 per share is determined based upon the market closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. As of March 31, 2024, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to the performance-based PBRSUs was $1.3 million, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

In May 2023, the Company also granted a total of 735,294 market-based PBRSUs to certain executives that vest over a multi-year period, upon continued service and when the volume-weighted average price per share (“WVAP Average”) of the Company’s common stock for the preceding 30 consecutive trading days equals or exceeds the target stock price for the indicated year. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation based upon the grant date fair value on an accelerated attribution basis over the requisite service period of the award. Provided that the requisite service is rendered, the total fair value of the market-based PBRSUs at the date of grant is recognized as compensation expense even if the market condition is not achieved. However, the number of shares that ultimately vest can vary significantly with the achievement of the specified market criteria. These PBRSUs neither carry rights to dividends nor voting rights until the shares are issued or transferred to the recipient. Awards are forfeited if an employee leaves the Company before the PBRSUs vest. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the market-based PBRSUs was $1.40 per share. The Company estimated the fair value of the market-based PBRSUs award on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:


Expected term (years)	0.5 - 4.7
Expected volatility		70.9	%
Risk-free interest rate		3.29	%
Dividend yield		0	%
Share price	$	5.10

As of March 31, 2024, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to the market-based PBRSUs was $0.7 million, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted-average period of 3 years.

The following table summarizes our RSU activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024:


	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
Outstanding as of December 31, 2023		5,204,177		$	9.65
Granted		889,257			5.05
Released		(398,583	)		12.91
Forfeited		(210,453	)		8.83
Outstanding as of March 31, 2024		5,484,398		$	8.69

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $39.6 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the RSUs. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.90 years. The above table excludes 1,911,765 PBRSUs granted to certain executive officers during the year ended December 31, 2023, and are outstanding as of March 31, 2024.

Compensation expense

Total stock-based compensation expense by function was as follows (in thousands):

Cost of revenue	$	102	$	330
Research and development expenses		3,989		4,410
General and administrative expenses		907		1,119
Sales and marketing expenses		263		104
Total	$	5,261	$	5,963

Note 13. Income Taxes

There has historically been no federal or state provision for income taxes because the Company has historically incurred operating losses and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized no provision for income taxes.

The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to significant limitations under Section 382 and Section 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar provisions under state law. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions that limit the federal net operating loss carryforwards that may be used in any given year in the event of special occurrences, including significant ownership changes. The Company has completed an analysis as of December 31, 2022 and doesn’t expect any net operating loss carryforwards or tax credit carryforwards to expire due to a limitation.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The weighted-average remaining lease terms were 1.9 years and 2.0 years as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The weighted-average discount rates were 6.32% and 6.04% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Operating lease cost for three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, was $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

The following is a maturity analysis of the annual undiscounted cash flows reconciled to the carrying value of the operating lease liabilities as of March 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Litigation

From time to time, the Company is involved in actions, claims, suits, and other proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including assertions by third parties relating to intellectual property infringement, breaches of contract or warranties, or employment-related matters. When it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company records a liability for such loss contingencies. The Company’s estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on the Company’s judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although the Company will continue to reassess its reserves and estimates based on future developments, the Company’s objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from the Company’s current estimates.

Litigation – other matters

On March 7, 2024, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against InterPrivate Acquisition Management LLC, InterPrivate LLC, and former directors and officers of InterPrivate Acquisition Corp (“IPV”). The lawsuit is captioned, Louis Smith v. Ahmed M. Fattouh, et al., (Del. Ch. 2024). Among other remedies, the complaint seeks damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. In connection with IPV’s March 12, 2021, merger transaction with Aeva Inc., Aeva granted certain indemnification rights to IPV’s former directors and officers. However, neither Aeva nor its current directors or officers are named as defendants in the complaint.

Table of Contents

Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is not subject to potential obligations under guarantees that fall within the scope of FASB ASC Guarantees, (Topic 460), except for standard indemnification provisions that are contained within many of the Company’s customer agreements and give rise only to disclosure requirements prescribed by Topic 460. Indemnification provisions contained within the Company’s customer agreements are generally consistent with those prevalent in the Company’s industry. The Company has not incurred any obligations under customer indemnification provisions and does not expect to incur significant obligations in the future. Accordingly, the Company does not maintain accruals for potential customer indemnification obligations.

Note 15. Segment Information

The Company operates as one operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”), consisting of the Company’s chief executive officer and the Company’s chief technology officer as a group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess the Company’s financial and operational performance. In addition, the Company’s CODM evaluates the Company’s financial information and resources and assesses the performance of these resources on a consolidated basis. As a result, the Company has determined that the Company’s business operates in a single operating segment. Since the Company operates as one operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in the financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion of Aeva’s results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in the financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon Aeva’s current expectations, estimates, and projections that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to, among other considerations, the matters discussed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) under the heading “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “we,” “our,” “us” “the Company” or “Aeva” refer to the business of Aeva Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.

On March 18, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-5 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, every five (5) shares of issued and outstanding shares of common stock were combined into one (1) share of common stock. All share and per share amounts and related stockholders’ equity balances presented herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. There was no change to the shares authorized or in the par value per share of common stock of $0.0001.

Overview

Our vision is to bring perception to broad applications. Through our FMCW sensing technology, we believe we are introducing the world’s first 4D LiDAR-on-chip that, along with our proprietary software applications, has the potential to enable the adoption of LIDAR across broad applications.

Founded in 2017 by former Apple engineers Soroush Salehian and Mina Rezk and led by a multidisciplinary team of engineers and operators experienced in the field of sensing and perception, Aeva’s mission is to bring the next wave of perception technology to broad applications from automated driving to industrial automation, consumer device applications, and security. Our 4D LiDAR-on-chip combines silicon photonics technology that is proven in the telecom industry with precise instant velocity measurements and long-range performance for commercialization.

As a development stage company, we work closely with our customers on the development and commercialization of their programs and the utilization of our products in such programs. Thus far, our customers have purchased prototype products and engineering services from us for use in their research and development programs. We are expanding our manufacturing capacity through third-party manufacturers to meet our customers’ anticipated demand for the production of our products.

Unlike legacy 3D LiDAR, which relies on Time-of-Flight (“ToF”) technology and measures only depth and reflectivity, Aeva’s solution leverages a proprietary FMCW technology to measure velocity in addition to depth, reflectivity and inertial motion. We believe the ability of Aeva’s solution to measure instant velocity for every pixel is a major advantage over ToF-based sensing solutions. Furthermore, Aeva’s technology is free from interference from other LiDAR and sunlight, and our core innovations within FMCW are intended to enable autonomous vehicles to see at significantly higher distances of up to 500 meters.

We believe Aeva is uniquely positioned to provide a superior solution with the potential to enable higher level of automation for vehicles. Furthermore, we believe the advantages of our 4D LiDAR-on-chip allow us to provide the first LiDAR solution that is fully integrated onto a chip with superior performance at scale, with the potential to drive new categories of perception across industrial automation, consumer devices, and security markets.

Key Factors Affecting Aeva’s Operating Results

Aeva believes that its future performance and success depends to a substantial extent on its ability to capitalize opportunities, which in turn is subject to significant risks and challenges, including those discussed in Part I, Item 1A of the 2023 Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors.”

Pricing, Product Cost and Margins. Our pricing and margins will depend on the volumes and the features as well as specific market applications of the solutions we provide to our customers. We have customers with technologies in various stages of development across different market segments. We anticipate that our prices will vary by market and application due to market-specific product and commercial requirements, supply and demand dynamics and product lifecycles.

Aeva’s future performance will depend on its ability to deliver on economies of scale. Our customers will require that our perception solutions be manufactured and sold at per-unit prices that are competitive. Our ability to compete in key markets will depend on the success of our efforts to efficiently and reliably produce cost-effective perception solutions that are competitively priced and affordable for our commercial-stage customers.

Additionally, the macroeconomic conditions in the industry, the growing emergence of competition in advanced assisted driving sensing and software technologies globally can negatively impact pricing, margins and market share. If Aeva does not generate the margins it expects upon

commercialization of its perception solutions, Aeva may be required to raise additional debt or equity capital, which may not be available or may only be available on terms that are onerous to Aeva’s stockholders.

We expect that our results of operations, including revenue and gross margins, will fluctuate on a quarterly basis for the foreseeable future as our customers continue on research and development projects and begin to commercialize advanced driver assist, autonomous and industrial automation solutions that rely on LiDAR technology. As more customers reach the commercialization phase and as the market for LiDAR solutions matures, these fluctuations in our operating results may become less pronounced.

Sales Volume. Each product program will have an expected range of sales volumes, depending on the end market demand for our customers’ products as well as market application. This can depend on several factors, including market penetration, product capabilities, size of the end market that the product addresses and our end customers’ ability to sell their products. In addition to end market demand, sales volumes also depend on whether our customer is in the development or production phase. In certain cases, we may provide volume discounts or strategic customer pricing on sales of our solutions, which may or may not be offset by lower manufacturing costs related to higher volumes which in turn could adversely impact our gross margins. Aeva’s ability to ultimately achieve profitability is dependent upon progression of existing relationships to production and our ability to meet required volumes and required cost targets and gross margins. Delays of our current and future customers’ programs could result in Aeva being unable to achieve its revenue targets and profitability in the time frame it anticipates. Such delays could result in Aeva requiring to raise additional debt or equity capital, which may not be available or may only be available on terms that are onerous to Aeva’s stockholders.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenue consists of sales of perception solutions or sensing systems and non-recurring engineering services.

Aeva is engaged in design, manufacturing and sale of LiDAR sensing systems and related perception and autonomy-enabling software solutions serving customers in automotive, industrial, and other markets. Under the customer agreements, Aeva delivers a specified number of sensing systems at a fixed price under customary terms and conditions. The sensing system units sold under these agreements are typically prototypes that are used by the customer for its research, development, evaluation, pilot, or testing purposes. Aeva also enters into non-recurring engineering service arrangements with certain of its customers to customize Aeva’s perception solution to meet customer specific requirements.

Cost of revenue and gross profit

Cost of revenue principally includes direct material, direct labor and allocation of overhead associated with manufacturing operations, including inbound freight charges and depreciation expense. Cost of revenue also includes the direct cost and appropriate allocation of overhead involved in execution of non-recurring engineering services. Aeva’s gross profit (loss) equals total revenue less total cost of revenue.

Operating expenses

Research and development expenses

Aeva’s research and development efforts are focused on enhancing and developing additional functionality for its existing products and on new product development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of:

•

Personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense, for personnel in Aeva’s research and engineering functions; and

•

Expenses related to materials, software licenses, supplies, and third-party services.

Aeva recognizes research and development expenses as incurred.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of personnel and personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense of Aeva’s executive, finance, information systems, human resources, and legal, as well as legal and accounting fees for professional and contract services.

Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses consist of personnel and personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense of Aeva’s business development team as well as advertising and marketing expenses. These include the cost of trade shows, promotional materials, and public relations.

Table of Contents

Aeva’s operating expenses will remain similar to the fiscal year 2023 or slightly increase in 2024 as we continue to execute on our goals and product roadmap.

Interest income and Interest expense

Interest income consists primarily of income earned on Aeva’s cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities. Interest income will vary based on Aeva’s cash equivalents and marketable securities balance and changes in the interest rates.

Other income and expense

Other income and expense primarily consist of changes in the fair value of private placement warrants and Series A warrants, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and realized gains and losses on marketable securities.

Revenue

Revenue increased by approximately $1.0 million or 84% during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in the sale of prototype units sold during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31 2023. The revenue related to non-recurring engineering services, which is dependent upon the timing of the work performed for our customers also increased by $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in average selling price per unit for the prototype units.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue increased by approximately $1.0 million or 38%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, from the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in number of units sold during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31 2023 and also due to increase in cost of revenue related to non-recurring engineering services.

Operating expenses

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or 2%, to $25.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $25.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Research and development expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease of $2.1 million in research material expenses related to product development, this was partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in payroll related expenses, a $0.5 million increase in service costs, and a $0.4 million increase in depreciation and amortization.

Table of Contents

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.6 million, or 7%, to $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to increases in payroll related expense of $0.7 million, and professional fees expenses of $0.3 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in insurance expenses of $0.4 million.

Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses decreased by approximately $0.1 million, or 3%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in payroll related expenses of $0.3 million, this was partially offset by an increase in marketing related expenses of $0.2 million.

Interest income

Interest income increased by $0.4 million, or 19%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was due to change in our investment portfolio, as the Company invested in higher interest bearing securities on the maturity of certain securities during three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This was partially offset by change in the overall balance of marketable securities.

Other income (expense), net

Other income decreased by $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to the change in the fair value of Series A warrant liability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Aeva’s capital requirements will depend on many factors, including sales volume, the timing and extent of spending to support research and development efforts, investments in information technology systems, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, and market adoption of new and enhanced products and features. As of March 31, 2024, Aeva had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $189.3 million.

On November 8, 2023, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements providing for the purchase of common stock resulting in net proceeds of $20.6 million (“November PIPE”). Also on November 8, 2023, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) with entities affiliated with Sylebra. Pursuant to the Facility Agreement, the Company will have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Sylebra up to $125.0 million shares of its preferred stock, at the Company’s request until November 8, 2026. Each sale the Company requests under the Facility Agreement may be for a number of shares of preferred stock with an aggregate value of at least $25.0 million but not more than $50.0 million (except with Sylebra’s consent). The Company paid Sylebra a facility fee in the amount of $2.5 million, an origination fee in the amount of $0.6 million, and an administrative fee in the amount of $0.3 million and reimbursed $0.4 million to Sylebra for its fees and expenses. In addition, the Company issued to Sylebra a Series A Warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00.

Aeva expects current cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund its near term cash needs but will be required to raise additional capital or draw on the Facility Agreement (see Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements) unless Aeva is able to generate sufficient revenue from the sale of its products to cover operating expense, working capital and capital expenditures.

Aeva has incurred negative cash flows from operating activities and losses from operations in the past as reflected in its accumulated deficit of $494.9 million as of March 31, 2024. Aeva expects to continue to incur operating losses due to continued investments that it intends to make in its business, including development of products. Aeva believes that existing cash and cash equivalent and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund operating and capital expenditure requirements through at least 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Aeva prepares its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can significantly impact the amounts Aeva reports as assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and the related disclosures. Aeva bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Aeva’s actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Aeva believes that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding its historical and future performance as these policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates. For a more detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and Note 1 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Aeva is exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in interest rates. There has been no material change in our exposure to market risks from that discussed in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of the 2023 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent limitation on the effectiveness of internal control

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
