See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section herein for an explanation of Adjusted EBITDA. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation for forward-looking guidance of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most closely comparable GAAP measure, because certain material reconciling items, such as depreciation and amortization and interest expense cannot be estimated due to factors outside of the Company's control and could have a material impact on the reported results. A reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.

Canoo Further Expands its International Market Presence through the Red Sea Global Partnership in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
April 08 2024 - 06:00AM
Canoo Inc. (NASDAQ: GOEV), a high-tech advanced mobility company, announced its innovative electric vehicles will be used in a pilot program by Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind the regenerative tourism destinations The Red Sea and AMAALA.
Red Sea Global will pilot Canoo’s Lifestyle Vehicle (LV), Lifestyle Delivery Vehicle (LDV) 190, and the Bulldog pickup truck. The Canoo vehicles will be piloted for travel between Red Sea Global’s international airport, its various resorts, facilities, and excursions. This trial will help tailor Canoo’s zero-emission vehicles to RSG’s use cases and mobility needs.
Canoo’s premium LV will provide transportation for guests traveling between Red Sea International Airport (RSI) and its resorts and residential properties. Likewise, Canoo’s LDV 190 can help with the movement of guest luggage items between RSI and the various properties. Canoo’s Bulldog fits the use case and needs of RSG’s experience companies, Akun, WAMA, and Galaxea, for transporting guests to their various excursions.
“Red Sea Global is an inspiring development illustrating the Crown Prince’s Vision 2030 goal to responsibly diversify its economy in an eco-friendly way. This resort will further transform the Kingdom showing the world the beauty of the Red Sea, which is a cornerstone of his vision. If you’ve been there in the last few years you would marvel at the scale and pace that his team has progressed the project with unique experiences.” said Tony Aquila, Investor, Executive Chairman, and CEO of Canoo. “This pilot is an important step in further aligning our product portfolio to deliver climate-friendly, all-terrain, and climatic-conditioned versions of our platform. We are excited and honored to return to this important region with our first Red Sea edition pilot vehicles!”
“When we first laid out our vision of regenerative tourism, we knew that not all of the solutions we’d need to achieve our goals yet existed. That is why we seek to work with forward-thinking partners who are pioneering the technology that could help us in the fight against climate change. Canoo is an innovator in the world of clean mobility and we’re proud to be putting their ideas and technology to the test at our unique destinations,” said John Pagano, Group CEO at Red Sea Global.

The detail of Canoo's response:
“Had Reuters called Canoo for comment we would have told them that we raised $324 million in 2022, and $288 million in 2023 and we are currently in discussions with several entities and individuals about investing in the company this year,” Canoo wrote in the post. “We would have also told them that we have begun manufacturing, expect to step up our manufacturing effort this year, and have a backlog of orders. And, that we are not in the consumer market, we are in the commercial market.”
In addition, the EV maker highlighted the fact that the company’s executives firmly believe in the company’s future, adding that CEO Tony Aquila has personally contributed to the automaker.
“Canoo executives, including its CEO, have every confidence in the company. In fact, since mid-2020 and through 2023, Mr. Aquila has invested more than $350 million in the company’s stock.”
The automaker just began initial deliveries of its latest Oklahoma-produced commercial Lifestyle Delivery Vehicles (LDVs) in December, delivering a total of 17 vehicles in Q4 and an additional 5 that were produced in Texas earlier in the year. The initial deliveries went out to a few offices in the state of Oklahoma, as well as companies Kingbee and Zeeba. Earlier in the year, Canoo made deliveries to the U.S. Army and to NASA, though its Oklahoma production facility wasn’t yet running.
“We will continue to make progress towards accessing additional forms of debt and other non-dilutive forms of capital as we move into 2024,” said Canoo CFO Greg Ethridge in a call following the earnings report. “Let’s be very clear. We’ll only raise the capital that we need.”

Canoo Analyst Remains Bullish While Investors Punish The Stock On Disappointing Outlook
BENZINGA
12:09 PM ET 04/02/2024
Canoo Inc (GOEV) shares were tanking in early trading on Tuesday after the company issued weak 2024 revenue guidance. In early March, the company had announced a 1-for-23 reverse stock split.
The company was following a "prudent" approach to scale its manufacturing while building resiliency in its supply chain, according to H.C. Wainwright & Co.
The Canoo (GOEV) Analyst: Amit Dayal maintained a Buy rating for Canoo (GOEV) while raising the price target from $3 to $7.
The Canoo Thesis: The company reported its fourth-quarter revenues at $0.4 million, with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $54.0 million, versus $60.7 million in the year-ago quarter, Dayal said in a note.
"The company's 2024 revenue guidance of $50[M]-100M implies production of roughly 1,000-2,000 vehicles during the year; we believe management is targeting quarterly production levels of 4,000-5,000 by mid-2025," the analyst wrote. "During the last few months, the company has taken steps that position the company for long-term profitable execution," he added.
The change in price target reflects the 1-for-23 reverse stock split, investments from foreign strategic institutional investors, and "other advances against the Pre-Paid Advance Agreement (PPA)," Dayal further stated.

"Wedbush Adjusts Canoo's Price Target to $5 From $4, Maintains Outperform Rating"
"Canoo Remains Cost Conscious Amid Capital Concerns, Wedbush Says
MT NEWSWIRES
1:40 PM ET 04/02/2024
01:40 PM EDT, 04/02/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Canoo (GOEV) has remained cost conscious amid concerns over its capital needs after the electric vehicles maker missed revenue expectations while beating consensus on the bottom line in Q4, Wedbush said in a report Tuesday.
"From a cost perspective, the company remains extremely cost conscious, lowering its overall R&D expense by 53% y/y while turning a corner to cautious expansion," Wedbush analysts, including Daniel Ives, said, adding that Canoo (GOEV) is also disciplined in its capital deployment approach by raising only the amounts of capital it needs for each milestone.
"We estimate the company needs to raise roughly $200 million to $250 million to navigate through this period and emerge in a stronger position into 2025 as this remains a key investor concern," the analysts said.
"We still remain positive in the long-term Canoo (GOEV) growth story, its key partnerships, and its supply chain strategy," they said.
Wedbush kept its outperform rating on Canoo (GOEV) while raising its price target to $5 from $4.

Canoo Enters a $30 Billion Market with Multiple Commercial Vehicle Sales in Saudi Arabia
April 02 2024 - 06:00AM
Canoo Inc. (NASDAQ: GOEV), a leading high-tech advanced mobility company, today signed a vehicle sales agreement with Jazeera Paints, a pioneering paint manufacturer in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Jazeera Paints will initially purchase 20 Canoo's electric vehicles (EVs) into its fleet in 2024, with the option to expand up to 180 additional vehicles. This agreement taps into the Saudi Arabian EV market, which commands a total addressable market (TAM) of over $30 billion, and aligns with initiatives within the GCC region to enhance sustainable mobility solutions.
These vehicles will be one of Canoo’s first international sales exported to Saudi Arabia utilizing Canoo’s recently approved Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) which contributes to lower unit cost and higher margins as announced in Canoo’s press release on March 18, 2024. In addition, these electric commercial delivery vehicles provide Canoo with a first mover advantage in the Saudi market and a competitive position in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.
Jazeera Paints will be deploying Canoo's LDV 130 and LDV 190 delivery vehicles within its existing fleet, which operate throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and MENA and support Jazeera Paints' commitment to the Saudi Green Initiative’s imperative that 30 percent of new car sales in the Kingdom are electric by 2030.
Canoo’s delivery vehicles are built on a proprietary multi-purpose platform with steer-by-wire technology. Canoo’s software stack allows for end-to-end integration into Jazeera Paints' workflow and its custom-built shelving eliminates the need for third-party upfitting, thereby reducing downtime for operations.
"This partnership is a key milestone in our targeted geographic expansion to the KSA region with a large and important fleet that is focused on deploying sustainable technologies across the fast-growing industry it serves. I have had the pleasure of working closely with Abdullah bin Saud Al-Romaih, the CEO of Jazeera Paints, on how we can partner together to deliver on the Crown Prince’s environmental initiatives for the Kingdom’s Vision 2030,” said Tony Aquila, Investor, Executive Chairman, and CEO of Canoo.
“I am delighted to announce this agreement to purchase electric vehicles from Canoo, which symbolizes Jazeera Paints' commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly technologies and materials,” said CEO of Jazeera Paints, Abdullah bin Saud Al-Romaih. “Tony and I have been working on this partnership for over a year and are excited about the future possibilities of ways we can work together to achieve our sustainability goals.”
Looking ahead, this partnership between Canoo and Jazeera Paints represents the beginning of a transformative journey in the realm of electric mobility. Both companies anticipate this alliance will catalyze further innovation and collaboration, paving the way for a more sustainable and technologically advanced future in commercial transportation within the GCC and beyond.
