MULLEN AUTOMOTIVE INC. (MULN)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q2 FY2025 revenue grew to $4.95M, a sharp acceleration versus $33k in Q2 FY2024 and up from $2.92M in Q1 FY2025; six-month FY2025 revenue totaled $7.87M, reflecting early commercialization of Mullen ONE (Class 1) and THREE (Class 3) and initial Bollinger B4 deliveries .
- Losses narrowed materially year over year: net loss attributable to stockholders was $47.1M in Q2 FY2025 versus $132.4M in Q2 FY2024, helped by derivative revaluation gains partially offset by warrant-related financing costs; non-cash items comprised ~73% of six-month losses YTD .
- Liquidity remains tight: cash and restricted cash at 3/31/25 was $2.32M, working capital was negative ($156.1M), though cash outflows fell 56.6% YoY to $52.4M in the first half; financing provided $44.0M YTD .
- Subsequent event: Bollinger Motors (majority-owned segment) entered court-appointed receivership on May 7, 2025, a legal overhang; management does not expect a material adverse impact on liquidity but uncertainty persists and could be a stock reaction catalyst .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Record quarterly revenue execution: “Q2 2025 revenue of $5 million outperformed Q2 2024 revenue of $33,000 by more than 143 times,” highlighting commercialization progress across Class 1 and Class 3 vehicles .
- Sales traction across commercial verticals: deliveries to logistics (Cashflow on Wheels, 20 Class 3 units, ~$1.4M retail value), local government (Orange County, NC), universities, and dealers (NAFG Sourcewell approval) broadened customer base .
- Cost discipline: YTD cash spend fell to $52.4M from $120.9M (–56.6%), reflecting headcount reductions and facilities eliminations; management reiterated focus on burn-rate reduction and battery technology development .
What Went Wrong
- Negative gross margin at scale: Q2 gross loss of $2.05M (revenue $4.95M vs. cost of revenues $7.00M) indicates unit economics and scale inefficiencies; pricing/mix and ramp costs continue to pressure margins .
- Complex capital structure and non-cash charges: sizable warrant-related financing costs and derivative revaluation drive volatility in reported earnings; six-month non-cash expenses/gains totaled $118.4M (73% of loss) .
- Legal overhang on Bollinger: court-appointed receivership post quarter end introduces strategic and operational uncertainty for the Class 4 B4 program and dealer network, despite management’s statement about limited liquidity impact .

Estimates Context
- Wall Street consensus estimates via S&P Global for MULN were unavailable due to missing CIQ mapping; as a result, we cannot provide consensus comparisons for Q2 FY2025 or Q1 FY2025. Estimates may need to be established or updated by coverage initiation if/when mapping becomes available (S&P Global data unavailable).
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Commercial traction is real but early: sequential revenue ramp from $2.92M (Q1) to $4.95M (Q2) with customer diversification; monitor conversion from invoicing/cash receipts to recognized revenue given dealer return provisions .
- Unit economics remain a watch item: negative gross margin at current scale indicates need for cost/product optimization and production efficiencies before sustainable margins emerge .
- Balance sheet constrained: low cash, negative working capital, and reliance on structured financing/warrants; execution on cost reductions and incremental financing is critical near term .
- Bollinger receivership is the primary overhang: while management guides limited liquidity impact, strategic outcomes (operate/sell) are controlled by the receiver; assess implications for B4 deliveries and dealer network .
- Battery roadmap progressing: Enpower partnership and 2026 production target provide medium-term technology optionality; near-term commercialization still anchored on Class 1/3 .
- Public sector channel opening: Sourcewell approval via NAFG enhances procurement ease for government fleets—potentially accelerating orders in FY2025/26 .
- Actionable: In the short term, stock likely reacts to legal developments (Bollinger), new fleet orders, and financing updates; medium term thesis hinges on converting pipeline to recognized revenue and achieving margin inflection through scale and cost reductions .
