FF
FARADAY FUTURE INTELLIGENT ELECTRIC INC. (FFAI)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q3 revenue remained de minimis at $0.04M while cost of revenue and a one-time asset impairment drove a sharp step-up in losses; Loss from Operations was $(206.8)M vs $(25.2)M in Q3’24, driven by investment in engineering, talent expansion, strategic initiatives, and a realignment of asset values tied to manufacturing .
- The company highlighted 11,000+ non-binding U.S. FX Super One pre-orders and >200 non-binding UAE B2B pre-orders; first UAE delivery targeted in November and first U.S. pre-production FX Super One off-line by year-end, keeping industrialization milestones in focus .
- Liquidity actions continued: ~$136M in financing commitments, ~$135.8M YTD financing inflows (sixth straight quarter where financing inflows exceeded operating outflows), and Q3-end cash of $62.9M (highest in >2 years) .
- Versus S&P Global consensus, Q3 revenue missed ($0.04M actual vs $0.25M est.) and EPS likely missed (−$1.81 actual vs −$0.36 est.); coverage remains extremely thin (one estimate), and consensus will need to reset to reflect the greater impairment-driven loss and limited revenue ramp [Functions.GetEstimates; S&P Global].
- Potential stock catalysts: first UAE deliveries (Nov), first U.S. pre-production FX off the line (year-end), completion of FMVSS safety tests, NACS Supercharger access pathway for future BEVs, and any incremental financing or strategic partnership updates .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
-
What Went Well
- FX demand signals and channel build-out: 11,000+ U.S. non-binding pre-orders and >200 UAE non-binding B2B pre-orders; FX PARs established in CA/NY/MA/TX/NV with planned expansion to NJ/FL/WA .
- Liquidity trend: ~$136M financing commitments; financing inflows of $135.8M YTD and sixth consecutive quarter where financing inflows outpaced operating outflows; management reiterated prudent capital deployment .
- Strategic/technology updates: adoption path to NACS enabling access to 28,000+ Tesla Superchargers for future FF/FX BEVs; continued progress on AI stack (FFAI 2.0 voice assistant, gesture controls) and FX trial pre-production at Hanford .
- Quote: “Q3 2025 marks the sixth consecutive quarter in which financing inflows outpaced operating outflows, reinforcing a sustained trend that supports our operating runway and FX platform execution.” — CFO Koti Meka .
-
What Went Wrong
- Minimal revenue and negative unit economics: Q3 revenue was ~$0.04M with gross loss of $(34.2)M; cost of revenue dwarfed sales, reflecting very early commercialization and FF91/FX ramp timing .
- Large non-cash impairment and sharp OpEx: Q3 included ~$138.5M asset impairment tied to updated operational plans and a shift toward FF92 and FX Super One, pushing Loss from Operations to $(206.8)M .
- Execution/funding risk persists: management reiterated need for continued financing to execute FX, EREV, AI and market expansion strategies; multiple operational dependencies (homologation, permits, supply chain logistics) remain on the critical path .

Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Management Commentary
- “Q3 2025 marks the sixth consecutive quarter in which financing inflows outpaced operating outflows, reinforcing a sustained trend that supports our operating runway and FX platform execution.” — CFO Koti Meka .
- “We remain committed on the delivery of the FX Super One vehicles for the UAE.” — Global Co‑CEO Matthias Aydt .
- “Access to public chargers… offering our users the convenience, reliability, speed, and ease of use that comes from Tesla’s Supercharging network…” — Global Co‑CEO Matthias Aydt on NACS .
- Company highlighted realignment of manufacturing-related asset values as it shifts from FF91 activities toward retooling for FF92 and FX Super One .
Q&A Highlights
- Product/features: Management emphasized the FX Super One’s EAI-driven luxury cabin, dual power options (AI HER range-extended and AI EV BEV), spacious/adaptive interior, and 360° intelligent safety, positioning it as a first-class EAI-MPV .
- Pre-orders/conversion: >11,000 non-binding B2B pre-orders and ~250 B2C refundable pre-orders; plan is to convert to binding orders as availability nears via direct online and FX PAR channels .
- Tariffs/costs: Management framed tariffs as an industry-wide factor; expects manageable impact over the next 12 months as localization improves and FX scales, with Hanford SKD capacity up to 30k vehicles and a “bridge strategy” to balance global supply strengths with U.S. manufacturing .
- UAE strategy: >200 B2B pre-orders; local partnerships, initial deliveries in November; focus on high‑net‑worth customers and supportive policy environment .
Estimates Context
- Q3 2025 S&P Global consensus: Revenue $0.25M vs actual $0.04M (miss); EPS −$0.36 vs actual −$1.81 (miss; limited coverage with one estimate) [Functions.GetEstimates; S&P Global].
- FY 2025 and FY 2026 consensus (S&P Global): EPS −$1.89 (FY25) and −$1.34 (FY26); Revenue $0.66M (FY25) and $14.35M (FY26) [Functions.GetEstimates; S&P Global].
- Given minimal current revenue and a large Q3 impairment, consensus likely needs to reset to reflect timing of FX deliveries and cadence of cost realignment.

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Execution remains milestone-driven: UAE first deliveries (Nov) and first U.S. pre-production FX off-line (year-end) are the next critical proof points for commercialization; successful delivery is likely a key stock catalyst .
- Liquidity runway has improved but continued capital access is essential; management has lined up ~$136M commitments and maintained a trend of financing inflows exceeding operating outflows, yet large operating/investment needs persist .
- Q3 loss profile was dominated by a ~$138.5M non-cash impairment amid program realignment; near-term P&L will likely remain volatile until FX volumes begin to scale .
- Demand indicators are encouraging (11,000+ U.S. non-binding pre-orders, >200 UAE B2B) but conversion, homologation, financing availability, and supply chain execution will dictate the revenue ramp .
- Infrastructure update is a positive LT signal: future NACS/ Supercharger access can reduce adoption friction for FF/FX BEVs .
- Estimate risk is high given minimal analyst coverage (one estimate) and timing uncertainty; consensus likely requires further calibration post-Q3 miss and following any concrete delivery disclosures [Functions.GetEstimates; S&P Global].
- Trading stance: near-term reactions likely hinge on delivery headlines (UAE Nov, U.S. pre-production), FMVSS progress, and financing updates; medium-term thesis depends on conversion of pre-orders into binding orders and a credible ramp with improving unit economics .
