This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements relating to the Company's future
financial and business performance and ability to execute on its business plan; expected timing of manufacturing facility buildout in Coolidge, Arizona and Ulm, Germany; expected timing of
completion of prototypes, validation testing, production and other milestones; expectations regarding the Company's sales and service network; and terms and potential benefits of the
planned collaborations with WVR, Rig360 and IVECO. Forward-looking statements generally are identified by words such as "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend,"
"strategy," "future," "opportunity," "plan," "may," "should," "will," "would," and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not historical fact. Forward-looking
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance. These
risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: design and manufacturing changes and delays, including global shortages in parts and materials; general economic, financial, legal,
regulatory, political and business conditions and changes in domestic and foreign markets; the potential effects of COVID-19; the outcome of legal, regulatory and judicial proceedings to
which the Company is, or may become a party; demand for and customer acceptance of the Company's trucks; risks associated with development and testing of fuel-cell power modules and
hydrogen storage systems; risks related to the rollout of the Company's business and the timing of expected business milestones; the effects of competition on the Company's future
business; the availability of capital; and the factors, risks and uncertainties regarding the Company's business described in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as amended, in addition to the Company's subsequent filings with the SEC. If
these or other risks materialize, or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date hereof, and the Company disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements prepared in accordance generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we are providing certain non-GAAP measures,
including Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share basic and diluted, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures and are presented as supplemental
measures of the Company's performance. Non-GAAP net loss is defined as net loss adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and certain other items the Company believes are not
indicative of its core operating performance. Non-GAAP net loss per share basic and diluted is defined as Non-GAAP net loss divided by weighted average basic and diluted shares
outstanding. These non-GAAP measures are not substitutes for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an
alternative to any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
The Company believes that presenting these non-GAAP measures provides useful supplemental information to investors about the Company in understanding and evaluating its operating
results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by its management
in financial and operational-decision making. However, there are limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may
calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore any non-GAAP measures the Company uses may not be directly
comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
