Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements:
This press release and related comments by management may include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are any statements other than statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements represent our current judgment about possible future events and are often identified by words like "aim," "anticipate," "appears," "approximately," "believe," "continue," "could," "designed," "effect," "estimate," "evaluate," "expect," "forecast," "goal," "initiative," "intend," "may," "objective," "outlook," "plan," "potential," "priorities," "project," "pursue," "seek," "should," "target," "when," "will," "would," or the negative of any of those words or similar expressions.
In making these statements, we rely on assumptions and analysis based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we consider appropriate under the circumstances. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these statements are not guarantees of any future events or financial results, and our actual results may differ materially due to a variety of important factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors, which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports we file with the SEC, include, among others, the following:
- Our ability to deliver new products, services, technologies and customer experiences in response to increased competition and changing consumer needs and preferences;
- Our ability to attract and retain talented and highly skilled employees;
- Our ability to timely fund and introduce new and improved vehicle models, including EVs, that are able to attract a sufficient number of consumers;
- Our ability to profitably deliver a strategic portfolio of EVs;
- Adoptions of EVs by consumers;
- The success of our current line of ICE vehicles, particularly our full-size SUVs and full-size pickup trucks;
- Our highly competitive industry, which has been historically characterized by excess manufacturing capacity and the use of incentives, and the introduction of new and improved vehicle models by our competitors;
- The unique technological, operational, regulatory and competitive risks related to our refocused AV strategy on personal vehicles;
- Risks associated with climate change, including increased regulation of GHG emissions, our transition to EVs and the potential increased impacts of severe weather events;
- Global automobile market sales volume, which can be volatile;
- Inflationary pressures and persistently high prices and uncertain availability of raw materials and commodities used by us and our suppliers, and instability in logistics and related costs;
- Our business in China, which is subject to unique operational, competitive, regulatory and economic risks;
- The success of our ongoing strategic business relationships, particularly with respect to facilitating access to raw materials necessary for the production of EVs, and of our joint ventures, which we cannot operate solely for our benefit and over which we may have limited control;
- The international scale and footprint of our operations, which expose us to a variety of unique political, economic, competitive and regulatory risks...
- And other relevant factors affecting business operations.
For a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, as updated by our subsequent filings with the SEC. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or other factors, except where we are expressly required to do so by law.
