This investigation follows Arrival’s listing of its shares on the Nasdaq and subsequent disclosures of its Q3 2021 financial results with major changes in revenue goals and long-term projection reductions.
11/09/2021
Arrival publishes its Q3 2021 financial results, including, among other information, adjusted EBITDA loss of €40 million, compared to a loss of €18 million in the third quarter of 2020. The company provided an update on its long-term forecasts previously made in connection with its merger with the special purpose acquisition (SPAC) CIIG Merger Corp.
“Arrival has revised its Microfactory rollout, and now expects significantly lower vehicle volumes and revenue in 2022. Future growth is dependent on the number of Microfactories the Company can deploy, which is a function of its access to capital. As a result Arrival’s previous long-term forecasts from the merger should no longer be relied upon.”
“Bus and Van production volumes in 2022 are expected to be modest because 2022 is the first year the Company is starting production and it is now expecting a more conservative ramp in each of its first three Microfactories. Arrival expects to start each Microfactory on one shift and does not expect them to reach full capacity until early 2023.“
