Mullen Reports Improved 2024 Financial Results

Company finishes the 2024 fiscal year with growth of national dealer network, increased sales and delivery of vehicles Fiscal year 2024 reduction of $85.4M in cash spend compared to fiscal year 2023 Successful launch of Bollinger Motors B4 production and sales Company now has three EV production lines in the U.S. with national sales and service networks supporting Mullen Class 1 and 3 and Bollinger Class 4 commercial vehicles Company announces further increase in operational efficiencies driving $13M annual reduction in cash spend effective Feb. 1, 2025 BREA, Calif., Jan. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) (“Mullen” or the “Company”), an electric vehicle (“EV”) manufacturer, today announces financial results for the twelve months ended Sept. 30, 2024, and a current business update. Commenting on fiscal year 2024 ("FY2024"), and recent Company developments, CEO and chairman David Michery stated: “2024 was a challenging year for the electric vehicle industry, including Mullen. In the retail market, the previous projections for EV growth rates have not materialized and the conclusion by many has been EVs are ‘not selling.’ It is true that the large OEMs have slowed their aggressive EV plans, but have certainly not stopped. However, I want to make it clear that Mullen is not in the retail market. We are in the commercial market with different market conditions, adoption criteria and customers. In the commercial market, it has only really been the last few years that OEMs have brought vehicles to customers and in some vehicle classes, there are still no entries. Consequently, adoption is still at the very early stages and is now growing. “For all new commercial EV manufacturers, there has been a continued slowdown in available capital, high interest rates, supply chain issues, regulatory hurdles to deal with as well as the unknown impact of the new administration’s potential regulatory and incentives and tax changes. Many new OEMs have not weathered the storm and, unfortunately, were forced to close. Mullen however, managed successfully to face these challenges head on and has made significant progress in many areas. “While I am proud of the Company’s accomplishments, I share investor disappointment with the performance of Mullen stock. There are many reasons I have previously expressed to shareholders why I believe the price of the Company stock does not closely reflect the value of the Company. I believe the Company’s real estate assets, manufacturing capabilities and intellectual property portfolio value exceeds the current market capitalization. The Company was able to successfully achieve full certification to sell its Class 1 EV cargo van and 3 EV truck, as well as Bollinger Class 4 trucks. Our Tunica, Mississippi, facility is fully equipped and has produced hundreds of commercial EVs. I do recognize a slow start of sales and as a result, we are revising our sales forecast to reflect slower growth than previously anticipated. Commercial customers require longer lead time to evaluate our new Company, brand and product offerings, including fleet managers, who often require vehicle pilots to gain the confidence they need in confirming our EVs perform and meet their specific requirements. We are gaining meaningful traction now on the sales front, and the Company is laser focused on the sale of its commercial vehicles where we believe we have a clear competitive advantage at this time. “Being fully aware of the extremely difficult capital-raising environment, the Company has recently initiated further significant cost-cutting measures to minimize our operating expenses for 2025. These reductions are a result of a singular focus on our commercial business and include continued elimination of operating expenses where it is not critical for the sales and growth of our Company. “As you will note from the updates below, there are many reasons I remain positive, including the fact that we now have three vehicle lines that are currently in U.S. production, generating cash from sales and building demand for our EVs from several different customer verticals. We believe no other recently established EV company in the U.S. can say this.” Recent Company Highlights Mullen Commercial – Troy, MichiganClass 1 and 3 Commercial Vehicles Recent sale and order activity for Mullen commercial EVs include: Mullen ONE All-Electric Cargo Van to Mr. Appliance® of Owings Mills, Maryland, marking the Company’s first venture into the home service vertical.10 Class 3 EV cab chassis trucks order from Associated Coffee, a San Francisco Bay Area coffee and snack distributor.Two Mullen THREE, Class 3 EV trucks with vehicle upfits performed by Phenix Truck Bodies & Van Equipment (“Phenix”) order from Westland Floral.The Company continues commercial EV adoption across college campuses with two new EV Class 1 orders from leading California universities in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area.

In total, Mullen is seeking $55 million in matching DOE funds to support the U.S. manufacturing capabilities. FY2024 Highlights During the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2024, the Company successfully transitioned from pre-revenue product development to revenue generation for Mullen Commercial EVs and Bollinger Motors began revenue generation with the launch of the Class 4 electric truck in September of 2024.Mullen Commercial – Troy, Michigan Class 1 and 3 Commercial Vehicles Growth of vehicles invoiced grew substantially from fiscal years 2023 to 2024: 443 vehicles invoiced in 2024 compared to 35 vehicles invoiced in 2023.The Company invoiced $21 million for vehicles in 2024 compared to $1 million for vehicles invoiced in 2023.

Financial Results for the Twelve Months Ended Sept. 30, 2024 Net loss and loss per share The net loss attributable to common shareholders after preferred dividends and other capital transactions with preferred stock owners was $471.0 million, or $1,425.6 net loss per share, for the twelve months ended Sept. 30, 2024, as compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders after preferred dividends of $964.9 million, or $157,405 loss per share, for the twelve months ended Sept. 30, 2023, (giving effect to reverse stock split made effective on Sept. 17, 2024, at a ratio of 1-for-100 shares). The net loss for the twelve months ended Sept. 30, 2024, included non-cash impairment charges totaling $119.2 million (in the previous year - $84.6 million), recognized primarily due to future funding uncertainties and a decrease in the Company's market capitalization. Revenue For the twelve months ended Sept. 30, 2024, we recorded $1.1 million in revenues compared to $0.4 million for the twelve months ended Sept. 30, 2023. For the twelve months ended Sept. 30, 2024, we invoiced for 443 commercial vehicles valued at $21 million compared to the twelve months ended Sept. 30, 2023, where we invoiced for 35 vehicles with a value of $1 million. The difference between invoiced amounts and revenues is the Company continues to defer the revenue and accounts receivable recognition on most of Mullen commercial vehicles invoiced until invoices are paid and the return provision on the vehicles is nullified by the dealer’s sale of the vehicle to the end user. In September 2024, our Bollinger segment achieved a major milestone, launching production of the B4 commercial truck. Additionally, Bollinger completed the sale of its first five units and recognized its first revenues of $0.7M. The B4 is generating strong traction in the market, and we expect significant sales growth from Bollinger in the coming year. Invoiced during the year ended September 30, 2024 (dollars in thousands) Vehicle type Units invoiced Amount invoiced Revenue recognized Mullen 3 (UU) 180 $11,658 $163 Mullen Urban Delivery (UD1) 258 8,568 228 Bollinger B4 5 703 703 Total 443 $20,929 $1,094 Invoiced during the year ended September 30, 2023 (dollars in thousands) Vehicle type Units Invoiced Amount invoiced Revenue recognized Mullen Urban Delivery (UD0) 25 366 366 Mullen 3 (UU) 10 652 — Total 35 $1,018 $366 Cost of Revenues The cost of revenues for the year ended Sept. 30, 2024, totaled $16.9 million and included $1.3 million for the cost of vehicles sold and $15.6 million in non-cash, inventory adjustments to net realizable value. Included in the $1.3 million of cost of vehicles sold was $0.2 million from the Mullen Commercial segment and $1.1 million from the Bollinger segment. Bollinger expects excess cost until target production capacity is reached sometime in FY25.In addition to the cost of vehicles sold, we recognized a non-cash, inventory adjustment to net realizable value of $15.6 million from the Mullen Commercial segment, primarily due to slow moving inventory where there are excess parts and systems. Liquidity We had total cash (including cash equivalents and restricted cash) of $10.7 million on Sept. 30, 2024, versus $155.7 million on Sept. 30, 2023. The Company has determined that its available liquidity of approximately $10.7 million is not sufficient to meet its current obligations for at least the next twelve months. The working capital as of Sept. 30, 2024, was negative and amounted to $120.0 million, or $38.5 million if adding back derivative liabilities and other liabilities settled in common stock. This compares to a positive $58.5 million of working capital or $133.3 million of working capital on Sept. 30, 2023, if adding back derivative liabilities and other liabilities settled in common stock. During the twelve months ended Sept. 30, 2024, we paid off a $4.9 million current note payable that was secured by a mortgage on our Tunica, Mississippi, facility. We also issued new senior secured convertible notes with warrants for cash totaling $61.7 million. Current notes payable as of Sept. 30, 2024, was $5.4 million compared to $7.5 million as of Sept. 30, 2023, (balances include debt discounts). As of today, almost all of these notes and accumulated interest have been converted into shares of the Company's common stock. After Sept. 30, 2024, investors purchased an additional aggregate principal amount of $17.9 million, for $17.0 million in cash after deducting the 5% original issue discount. The total cash spent (Operating and Investing cash flows) for the twelve months ended Sept. 30, 2024 and 2023 was $201.7 million and $287.1 million, respectively.
