EXPECTED
DEVELOPMENT
- BEV sold directly, but for FCEV lease in addition to traditional working
capital items, Nikola's NWC includes "net investment in leases" as the
lease revenue is spread over the leasing period of 7 years
• Net investment in leases comprises the total amount of lease revenue
allocated to FCEV truck, net of cash payment received in current year
(i.e. 1/7 of -$235K as lease commences). Hence, the remaining 6/7 of
lease value is allocated to net investment in leases (split between
current and long-term assets)
As such NWC is expected to increase in line with annual FCEV volume
growth
• NWC excluding investment in leases expected to be around
13-14% of revenues in 2021 and 2022
NWC excluding investment in leases expected to be around -4% of
sales when production plants reach full capacity
Note:
1. Cesh flow from net investment in lease expected within one year
2. Cash flow from net investment in lease not due within one year
Nikola's net working capital is expected to be
driven by FCEV lease sales
Total NWC 2020 expected to
be between ($8M) and ($10M)
