SECOND QUARTER 2026 HIGHLIGHTS

EAI Robotics Commercial Traction and Shipment Execution

The total cumulative sales and shipments of robotics units were 220 units for the quarter, with single-month sales and shipments reaching 105 units in June alone. The Company maintained its cumulative shipment target of 2,000 EAI robots by year-end.

The Company advanced strategic cooperation with Triple I Group to deploy its EAI devices in educational settings, while RobotShop confirmed drop-shipping support following procurement evaluations.

Upgraded the Three-in-One EAI Ecosystem to Four-Core Full-Stack AI Ecosystem

The Company officially upgraded its robotics roadmap from a Three-in-One model to the Four-Core Full-Stack AI Ecosystem Strategy, integrating the EAI Brain, EAI Devices, Industry Productivity Solutions and Developer Platform, and EAI Data Factory. Under this strategy, device deployment expanded across its six-product series and three form factors, including the launch of the industrial grade FF Faber mobile manipulator series.

Ecosystem software and data platforms also achieved key execution milestones. The EAI Data Factory platform completed its commercial closed loop during the quarter, generating initial sample payments. Customer engagement remains strong. FF launched its Open Developer Platform with open SDK and API interfaces, established California’s first education innovation lab, and onboarded Sequoia Education Center as a flagship partner.

Regulatory Alignment and Established “Built in USA” Program

Recent FCC guidance restricting non-compliant foreign robotics in the domestic market has strengthened Faraday Future’s competitive positioning. Operating as a domestic enterprise with full FCC certifications across its product lineup, the Company launched its Global Value-Chain Partner Recruitment Initiative to serve as a compliant gateway for global component suppliers and OEMs expanding into the United States.

FF is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this historic strategic opportunity through its seven core competitive advantages: the "Full-Form FF EAI Robot World" built around six major product series and the "One Brain, Multiple Forms" and "Multiple Forms, Multiple Capabilities" strategies; the "Four-Core Full-Stack AI" ecosystem integrating the EAI Brain, EAI Devices, Industry Productivity Solutions & Developer Platform, and EAI Data Factory; its "5+1" ecosystem-based direct-sales and user co-creation system spanning key customer touchpoints; its compliance capabilities as a U.S.-based company; its data-driven evolutionary flywheel powered by large-scale deployment and real-world data; its asset-light, operationally lean financial model focused on positive product gross margins and payment-before-delivery discipline; and its differentiated capital value, supported by the potential standalone value-unlocking path for its robotics business.

The Company accelerated its three-phase “Built in USA Acceleration Program”, potentially moving from localized AI platform integration into Assembled in USA and Made in USA manufacturing. Under its Global Bridge Strategy, all R&D, operations, continuous model iterations, and data storage for the EAI Brain, Data Factory, and Developer Platform aim to remain localized within the United States to ensure complete regulatory compliance while integrating global supply chains for final device delivery.

Capital Structure Optimization and Legacy Debt Resolution

Faraday Future executed a series of decisive capital markets and balance sheet initiatives driven by the Company’s conviction that the true commercial value of its EAI robotics business is significantly higher than what is currently reflected in the Company’s market capitalization. To unlock this value, the Company’s debt solution program is advancing along two parallel tracks consisting of combining operating debt reduction with capital-structure optimization. As of the end of the second quarter, excluding the liability for the new fundings below, the actual debt reduction exceeded $100 million. This included an approximately $61 million reduction in total liabilities, which decreased to approximately $278 million at second quarter from approximately $340 million at the end of the second quarter of 2025. Regarding the financings disclosed, $42.5 million was deposited into accounts subject to deposit account control agreements and was classified as restricted cash as of June 30, 2026.

FF is systematically clearing historical operating burdens while establishing long-term debt management and internal control mechanisms.

In parallel, the Company took aggressive steps to optimize its broader capital structure, secure operating liquidity, and protect stockholder equity. FF secured $70 million in cumulative new institutional commitments, permanently canceled approximately 49.9 million Class A warrants since December 2025, and amended its $82 million convertible note agreement to eliminate VWAP-based pricing conditions and most warrant issuances.

Following a 1-for-150 reverse stock split effective July 24, 2026, the Company received formal confirmation from Nasdaq that it has regained full minimum bid price compliance. Removing legacy obligations across both operating and capital levels provides a cleaner, highly flexible balance sheet that enables the robotics business to accelerate commercial deployment while actively evaluating independent capital strategies, including standalone financing and a potential independent public listing roadmap.

Enterprise AI Systems and Corporate Governance

The Company continued advancing its AI governance framework, refining management structures across AI application governance, risk classification, token cost visualization, and lifecycle data management. Operational processes were deepened through AI integration to advance workflow automation, productivity evaluation, task tracking, and cross-departmental knowledge sharing.

On compliance and internal controls, FF elevated its risk management, cybersecurity governance, and information disclosure systems. These optimizations strengthen privacy controls, improve cross-functional auditability, and ensure regulatory adaptability as the Company scales operations.

RESULTS FOR SECOND QUARTER 2026

• Revenue: For the second quarter of 2026, total revenue reached $836,000, representing an increase of over 1,400% compared to $54,000 in the second quarter of 2025 and bringing cumulative first-half revenue to $1.35 million.

• Total Stockholders’ Equity: $1.41 million as of June 30, 2026, maintaining a positive equity position.

2026 OUTLOOK

Looking ahead, the second half of 2026 represents a critical period of operational scaling, regulatory alignment, and capital discipline as Faraday Future advances its Five Key Transformations across finance, strategy, business operations, capital structure, and AI systems. With its robotics roadmap formally expanded to the Four-Core Full-Stack AI Ecosystem Strategy, the Company is concentrating its resources on commercial revenue expansion, domestic assembly execution, systematic debt resolution, and establishing a clear trajectory toward sustainable profitability.

Financial Outlook

Embodied AI (EAI) Robotics serves as Faraday Future’s primary near-term commercial engine. Driven by rising demand across four key commercial sectors, Education, Industrial Applications, Security Inspection, and Existing Core Commercial Markets, the Company is targeting cumulative shipments of more than 2,000 EAI robot units by year-end.

Moving into the second half of 2026, our financial strategy is focused on establishing a sustainable revenue model and achieving balance optimization through three primary pillars:

Revenue and Ecosystem Growth – Accelerate the growth of all businesses across our Four-Core Full-Stack AI Ecosystem strategy, driving continued revenue expansion and steady improvement in overall gross margin, driven primarily by commercial device shipments and accelerating monetization of our EAI robotics ecosystem.

Liability Reduction – We reemphasize our clear debt resolution target to reduce total company liabilities to under $100M within the next three to four quarters, providing continued support for the growth of our robotics business.

Operating Cash Flow Optimization – We are building a differentiated growth model based on our strategic upgrades to continuously optimize operating cash flow. This approach supports near-term cash flow generation with limited additional capital investment, while backing our long-term ecosystem expansion.

Four-Core Full-Stack AI Ecosystem: Integrating Devices, Brain, Data, and Productivity Solutions

Building on its initial commercial traction, the Company is executing its expanded "Four-Core Full-Stack AI" framework, unifying EAI Devices, the EAI Brain, Industry Productivity Solutions and Developer Platform, and the EAI Data Factory. This integrated architecture allows Faraday Future to monetize the entire hardware, software, data, and service lifecycle.

On the EAI Devices front, we are accelerating deployment across key verticals including education, industrial, and security/inspection, continuously expanding the robotics product portfolio and scaling commercial deliveries.

The EAI automotive business remains one of FF’s core businesses and an important component of the Company’s overall EAI strategy. The Company will proceed with a highly disciplined and prudent approach, strictly aligning the pace of execution and capital deployment with the availability of dedicated funding, and will not accelerate the business unless and until sufficient funding has been secured. Meanwhile, FF will align its execution with the development plans and progress of its strategic partners.

On the EAI Brain front, the Company expects to further deepen the integration of NVIDIA’s technology stack with FF’s proprietary EAI Brain, robotics platform, and data infrastructure over the course of this year. We will continue advancing GR00T training and validation on embodied AI capabilities including complex grasping and multi-step manipulation, while driving SONIC technology from simulation-based training toward full body robot control on real hardware and cross platform migration across different robot form factors.

On the EAI Data Factory front, the Company will further close the complete loop encompassing real-world robot data collection, training, evaluation, deployment, and continuous learning. This will accelerate the formation of a self-reinforcing flywheel — “Device ? Data ? Brain ? Solution ? Device” — and build an embodied AI technology framework that is quantifiable, continuously iterable, and scalable across diverse robot morphologies, providing core technical support for the ongoing evolution of our autonomous EAI Brain, industry solutions, and the broader Four-Core Full-Stack AI Ecosystem. The EAI Data Factory is expected to reach a monthly production capacity of 2,100 qualified real-world data collection hours by the end of August, 20,000 hours by the end of December, and a total of 50,000 hours of data collection for the full year.

On the Industry Productivity Solutions and Developer Platform front, we are building standardized, replicable, and scalable industry solutions to enhance customer value and return on investment (ROI), with planned geographic expansion across California, Texas, and the Eastern U.S. within the year. Concurrently, we are continuously strengthening the developer ecosystem by opening up robot capabilities, skills, and industry application platforms to attract more developers and partners to co-build the robotics application ecosystem.

For the Developer Platform, we completed a full business closed loop, deploying our EAI Soul framework, Brain Block modular architecture, open SDK, and API interfaces in the second quarter. We officially launched the FF EAI Robotics Open Source and Open Developer Platform, featuring both General and Youth Developer Editions alongside four core developer tools. For the remainder of 2026, we are continuing to streamline our product portfolio to prioritize robotics products with clear commercialization potential and positive unit economics. Supported by expanding demand across our key use cases, specifically education, by the end of 2026, we aim to ship more than 2,000 EAI robot units, expand our portfolio to 100 skills, and grow our developer community to 200 members. Together with real-world data collection across multiple use cases, these efforts will lay a solid foundation for larger-scale shipments and broader data collection in the years ahead.

Manufacturing & Product Compliance: Accelerating "Built in USA" Phase 2

In manufacturing and mobility, the Company is advancing its domestic production strategy into Phase 2, aiming to transition from localized AI platform integration to "Assembled in USA" manufacturing. This domestic footprint reinforces supply chain resilience, shortens delivery timelines, and directly leverages recent regulatory actions—such as new FCC equipment authorization policies and evolving ICTS standards restricting foreign-produced robotics—positioning Faraday Future as a trusted, fully compliant supplier of Physical AI hardware in the United States.

Across both its vehicle and robotics portfolios, Faraday Future continues to optimize its product roadmap, prioritizing high-margin offerings characterized by near-term commercial viability, rapid monetization, and positive unit-level economics.

Capital Strategy: Capital Value Restoration Plan and Debt Resolution

From a capital perspective, Faraday Future is aggressively pursuing its Capital Value Restoration Plan to enhance capital efficiency, curb equity dilution, resolve legacy liabilities, and rebuild stockholder trust. Key Initiatives:

• Exploring Standalone Financing and Public Listing for the Robotics Business – We are actively evaluating independent financing and potential public listing opportunities for our robotics segment. Such a move would secure dedicated growth capital for our EAI ecosystem, reduce equity dilution at the FFAI level, and directly benefit our stockholders.
• Accelerating Historical Debt Resolution – Our total liabilities at the end of the second quarter of 2026 declined by more than $100 million compared with the same period in 2025, excluding the $42.5 million in restricted cash received from financing and its corresponding liability. We are targeting a further reduction to below $100 million over the next three to four quarters, and we have committed that any new capital raised will be allocated primarily to robotics business development, rather than to servicing legacy obligations.
• Strengthening Financing Discipline – We have locked in a conversion floor price of $5.00 per share for the substantial majority of our outstanding convertible notes and have imposed daily conversion caps to strictly mitigate dilution risk.
• Focusing on Operating Revenue Growth and Cost Controls – We are intensifying efforts to drive revenue growth and contain costs, thereby reducing our reliance on external financing while steadily advancing our long-term debt reduction targets.

Our EAI ecosystem continues to gain traction, and our underlying fundamentals are improving. Nevertheless, management believes that our current market capitalization does not yet reflect the true potential of our robotics business. Collectively, the above initiatives are expected to optimize our capital structure, unlock business value, and generate sustainable long-term value for our stockholders.

Long-Term Positioning

Faraday Future is solidifying its market position as a leading U.S.-based Physical AI enterprise and the premier full-stack AI-robotics provider in North America. Concurrently, the Company is accelerating its organizational transition into an AI-native business, embedding artificial intelligence across management, financial, and compliance systems to maximize operating leverage. Anchored by its Four-Core Full-Stack AI ecosystem, Phase 2 "Built in USA" domestic assembly, and disciplined Capital Value Restoration Plan, Faraday Future is focused on driving organic revenue growth, clearing historical liabilities, and realigning its public market valuation with the intrinsic worth of its Physical AI technology platform.
