Things to Note
In the third quarter of 2023, Canoo launched its latest innovation, the Lifestyle Delivery Vehicle (LDV) 190, marking a strategic move into the Class 2 electric cargo van segment. This addition to the company's lineup not only provides expanded space and flexibility for fleet owners but also offers technologically advanced performance seen in its original LDV 130 model.
The company achieved a significant milestone with a 20,000 unit run rate for its battery module line in Pryor and a state-of-the-art robotics and assembly line in Oklahoma City dedicated to the MPP1 platform. With the commencement of vehicle deliveries and government contract wins, Canoo has successfully transitioned from the pre-revenue stage.
During the quarter under discussion, Canoo showcased its commitment to cutting-edge transportation solutions by delivering Crew Transportation Vehicles to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida and expanding its contract with the Department of Defense. The expansion of Canoo's partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Unit serves as a testament to its technological prowess and operational reliability.
While these strategic moves are expected to positively impact the third-quarter results, high capital expenditure requirements and operating expenses could pose challenges to the company's financial performance. Canoo anticipates an adjusted loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization in the range of $120-$140 million for the second half of 2023.
