Delivered 130 units and generated $16.5 million in revenue

Achieved 15.3% Gross Margin and a second consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow

Continued cost discipline with 24% year-over-year reduction in third quarter operating expenses

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xos, Inc. (NASDAQ: XOS) (“Xos” or the “Company”), a leader in electric commercial vehicles and mobile charging solutions, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. Building on its momentum, Xos delivered another profitable and cash-positive quarter—further proof of its relentless drive toward sustainable growth and operational excellence.

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights:

• Xos delivered 130 units (including leases) and generated $16.5 million in revenue, compared to 135 units and $18.4 million in the second quarter of 2025 and 94 units and $15.8 million in the third quarter of 2024. While revenue was recognized for 130 units, the Company shipped a total of 140 units, including an additional 10 stripped chassis sent to its upfitter in support of the previously announced UPS order. Revenue for these units is expected to be recognized in upcoming quarters, reflecting continued delivery momentum and strong customer demand.

• Gross margins climbed to 15.3%, a significant improvement from 8.8% in the second quarter of 2025, showcasing a more diverse customer mix across our unit deliveries. While down from 18.1% in the prior-year period due to product mix and tariff impacts, this quarter highlights Xos’s ability to expand margins sequentially and execute efficiently despite external headwinds.

• The Company reported an operating loss of $7.0 million and a non-GAAP operating loss of $4.8 million in the third quarter, compared to a loss of $7.1 million and a non-GAAP operating loss of $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2025, and a loss of $9.7 million and a non-GAAP operating loss of $6.6 million in the third quarter of 2024. Operating expenses decreased by $3.0 million, or 24% year-over-year, underscoring the team’s strong execution, cost discipline, and relentless focus on improving operational performance.

• Xos achieved positive net cash provided by operating activities and positive free cash flow of $3.1 million, marking its second consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow and another major step toward sustained profitability. This performance reflects meaningful improvements in the Company’s operating model, including faster inventory turnover and more efficient receivables collection, which have driven stronger cash generation and improved working capital efficiency. As a result, Xos ended the quarter with $14.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, up from $8.8 million in the second quarter of 2025, highlighting growing financial flexibility and momentum toward long-term, sustainable growth.

• Xos strengthened its balance sheet by amending its outstanding $20 million Convertible Note, originally due August 11, 2025, to spread principal payments over ten quarterly installments ending February 11, 2028. This amendment enhances liquidity, extends the Company’s financial runway, and positions Xos for long-term stability and growth.

• The Company raised $2.4 million, net of offering costs, under its at-the-market offering program during the third quarter of 2025, further reinforcing liquidity and providing additional capital to support continued growth and expansion initiatives.

• Xos reached an agreement with the lessor of its Mesa, Arizona manufacturing facility to terminate the lease, resulting in estimated cash savings of $20.7 million through 2033. This strategic move unlocks meaningful long-term savings and demonstrates the Company’s proactive approach to optimizing its cost structure and focusing resources where they drive the greatest value.

“Q3 was another proof point of what this team can do,” said Dakota Semler, Chief Executive Officer of Xos. “We followed our strongest quarter ever with another period of disciplined execution, positive free cash flow, and sustained profitability progress. These results reflect the strength of our products, the efficiency of our operations, and the passion of our people. Xos is executing with consistency, building scale with intention, and proving that our model works, not just for today, but for the future we’re creating.”

“We delivered another quarter of positive gross margins and positive cash flow from operating activities, underscoring the strength of our operating discipline and the continued improvement in our unit economics,” said Liana Pogosyan, Chief Financial Officer of Xos. “Our tighter control over inventory, faster receivables collection, and disciplined cash management are driving meaningful gains in efficiency and cash generation. These improvements not only strengthened our balance sheet but also accelerated our progress toward sustained growth and profitability. In addition, the successful launch of our ATM program, which generated $2.4 million in net proceeds, further enhances our liquidity and positions Xos to seize the opportunities ahead.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The financial information in this press release has been presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as well as on a non-GAAP basis to supplement Xos's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial results. Xos's non-GAAP financial measures include operating cash flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow), non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP gross profit, which are defined below.

“Operating cash flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow)” is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities minus purchases of property and equipment.

“Non-GAAP operating loss” is defined as loss from operations adjusted for stock-based compensation, inventory write-downs and physical inventory and other adjustments.

“Non-GAAP gross profit” is defined as gross profit (loss) minus inventory write-downs and physical inventory and other adjustments.

Xos believes that the use of operating cash flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow), non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP gross profit reflects additional means for management and investors to use when evaluating Xos's ongoing operating results and trends. The presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that Xos's future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. It is important to note Xos's computation of operating cash flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow), non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP gross profit may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because not all companies may calculate operating cash flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow), non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP gross profit in the same fashion. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and therefore, should only be read in conjunction with financial information reported under GAAP when understanding Xos's operating performance. A reconciliation between historical GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided in this press release.
