Microvast Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:MVST) (“Microvast” or the
“Company”), a technology innovator that designs, develops and
manufactures lithium-ion battery solutions, today announced
unaudited condensed consolidated financial results for the second
quarter ended June 30, 2022 (“Q2 2022”).
“Second quarter revenue performance of $64.4 million is a solid
achievement, especially considering our main export hub in Shanghai
was locked down during the first half of Q2 2022,” said Craig
Webster, Microvast’s Chief Financial Officer. “We are beginning to
see leverage from higher volumes of sales, which contributed to
gross margin improvement during Q2 2022 despite higher raw material
prices compared to the prior year period. Gross margins will remain
a focus as we prepare for significantly higher customer deliveries
in 2023 from our new production line in Huzhou.”
“I am proud of the achievements of our global team in Q2 2022,”
said Sascha Kelterborn, Microvast’s President and Chief Revenue
Officer. “Our team pulled together and again delivered an
impressive revenue performance. Q2 2022 marks the sixth quarter in
a row that we have delivered substantial revenue growth compared to
the same quarter in the prior year period, despite ongoing
macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds over the same time period.
We are excited to finally bring our additional production capacity
online in 2023, which we expect to further accelerate our
growth.”
Results for Q2 2022 and the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
(“YTD 2022”)
Microvast generated revenue of $64.4 million in Q2 2022,
compared to $33.4 million for the second quarter ended June 30,
2021 (“Q2 2021”), an increase of 93.0%. Microvast generated revenue
of $101.1 million for YTD 2022, compared to $48.3 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2021 (“YTD 2021”), an increase of
109.2%.
Gross profit was $4.8 million in Q2 2022, compared to a gross
loss of $6.8 million in Q2 2021, resulting in a 27.8 percentage
point improvement in gross margin from (20.3)% in Q2 2021 to 7.5%
in Q2 2022. Non-GAAP adjusted gross profit was $6.7 million in Q2
2022, compared to non-GAAP adjusted gross loss of $6.8 million in
Q2 2021, resulting in a 30.7 percentage point improvement in
non-GAAP adjusted gross margin from (20.3)% in Q2 2021 to 10.4% in
Q2 2022.
Gross profit was $4.9 million for YTD 2022, compared to a gross
loss of $8.0 million for YTD 2021, resulting in a 21.4 percentage

for YTD 2021. Non-GAAP adjusted gross profit was $8.6 million for
YTD 2022, compared to non-GAAP adjusted gross loss of $8.0 million

for YTD 2021.
Operating expenses were $50.4 million in Q2 2022 compared to
$15.8 million in Q2 2021. The change in operating expenses was
largely due to share-based compensation expense of $28.5 million in
Q2 2022 as well as increased headcount and other expenditures to
support the Company’s growth initiatives and other expenses related
to operating as a public company.
Operating expenses were $93.8 million for YTD 2022 compared to
$27.3 million for YTD 2021. The increase in operating expenses was
largely due to share-based compensation expense of $54.7 million
for YTD 2022 as well as increased headcount and other expenditures
to support the Company’s growth initiatives and other expenses
related to operating as a public company.
Net loss was $44.2 million in Q2 2022 compared to net loss of
$27.1 million in Q2 2021. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss was $14.9
million in Q2 2022 compared to non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $23.8
million in Q2 2021. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $(9.2) million in
Q2 2022 compared to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $(17.3) million in
Q2 2021.

$43.4 million for YTD 2021. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss was $44.0

$36.5 million for YTD 2021. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $(32.4)
million for YTD 2022 compared to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of
$(23.3) million for YTD 2021.
Please refer to the tables at the end of this press release for
reconciliations of gross profit to non-GAAP adjusted gross profit
and net loss to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted net
loss.
2022 Outlook
Microvast reaffirms revenue guidance for the year ending

year ended December 31, 2021 (“FY 2021”).
The Company’s backlog at the end of Q2 2022 was $105.3 million,
an increase of 51.9% compared to $69.3 million at the end of Q2
2021.
Capital expenditures for YTD 2022 were $67.9 million compared to
$29.9 million for YTD 2021. The Company expects capital
expenditures for the remainder of FY 2022 to be in the range of

lawsuits or proceedings relating to Microvast’s products or
services; (17) the risk that Microvast may not be able to develop
and maintain effective internal controls; and (18) the outcome of
any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Microvast or

“SEC”) identify, address and discuss these and other factors in the
sections entitled “Risk Factors.”
Actual results, performance or achievements may differ
materially, and potentially adversely, from any projections and
forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which those
forward-looking statements are based. There can be no assurance
that the data contained herein is reflective of future performance
to any degree. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements as a predictor of future performance as
projected financial information and other information are based on
estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to various
significant risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which
are beyond our control. All information set forth herein speaks
only as of the date hereof in the case of information about
Microvast or the date of such information in the case of
information from persons other than Microvast, and we disclaim any
intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as
a result of developments occurring after the date of this
communication. Forecasts and estimates regarding Microvast’s
industry and end markets are based on sources we believe to be
reliable, however there can be no assurance these forecasts and
estimates will prove accurate in whole or in part.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with additional information regarding our
financial results, Microvast has disclosed in this earnings release
non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP adjusted gross
profit (loss), non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted net
loss, which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the
rules of the SEC. These are intended as supplemental measures of
our financial performance that are not required by, or presented in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”).
Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures, gross
profit (loss) and net income (loss), are contained in tabular form
in the unaudited financial statements below. Non-GAAP adjusted
gross profit (loss) is defined as gross profit (loss) excluding
non-cash settled share-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP
adjusted net loss is defined as net loss excluding changes in fair
value of our warrant liability and convertible notes and non-cash
settled share-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA
is defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization,
non-cash settled share-based compensation expense, interest
expense, interest income, changes in fair value of our warrant
liability and convertible notes and income tax expense or
benefit.
We use non-GAAP adjusted gross profit (loss), non-GAAP adjusted
EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted net loss for financial and operational
decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period
comparisons. We consider them to be important measures because they
help illustrate underlying trends in our business and our
historical operating performance on a more consistent basis. We
believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together
with their most directly comparable GAAP measures, gross profit
(loss) and net income (loss), provide meaningful supplemental
information regarding our performance by excluding certain items
that may not be indicative of our recurring core business operating
results.
We believe that both management and investors benefit from
referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our
performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future
periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate
management’s internal comparisons to our historical performance. We
believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors
both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect
to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational
decision-making and (2) they are used by our institutional
investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health
of our business. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP
financial measures provide useful information to investors and
others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the
same manner as our management team and board of directors.
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical
tool, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a
substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with
GAAP. For example, our calculation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA may
differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures, if any, reported by
our peer companies, or our peer companies may use other measures to
calculate their financial performance, and therefore our use of
non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to
similarly titled measures of other companies. The principal
limitation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes
significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be
recorded in our financial statements. In addition, it is subject to
inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgments by
management about which expense and income are excluded or included
in determining this non-GAAP financial measure. In order to
compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP
financial measures in connection with GAAP results. In addition,
such financial information is unaudited and does not conform to SEC
Regulation S-X and, as a result, such information may be presented
differently in our future filings with the SEC. For example, due to
warrant liability resulting from the merger, we now exclude changes
in fair value from net loss in our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and
non-GAAP adjusted net loss calculation, which had not been done in
prior periods.
