Polestar Reports Second Quarter Select and H1 2026 Financial Results

businesswire.com

Polestar Reports Second Quarter Select and H1 2026 Financial Results GOTHENBURG, Sweden--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Polestar (Nasdaq: PSNY) presents its consolidated financial results and operational metrics for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026.

Michael Lohscheller, Polestar CEO, said: “The operational improvements being implemented across the business are starting to show results. We cut our reported operating loss by 43% in the first half of 2026 versus last year, when a significant net impairment expense impacted our results. Working in a challenging environment, we continue to be disciplined in our execution and focused on improving the business.

"Following the opening of orders for Polestar 4 SUV, production has ramped up in Busan, South Korea. The first cars have been shipped from the factory and are set to be delivered to customers during the fourth quarter. The first Polestar 5s are expected to reach customers in the coming weeks - setting us up for an exciting end to the year."

Key financial and operational highlights for H1 2026 (year-on-year comparison)

Guidance

Polestar has continued to expand its retail network at pace. The upcoming launch of Polestar 4 SUV in the fourth quarter of 2026, followed by the launch of the successor to Polestar 2 in 2027, are expected to further strengthen the Company's product portfolio.

Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, the market environment is expected to remain highly competitive and volatile. Polestar remains focused on delivering quality growth and is updating its 2026 volume guidance to low-to-mid single-digit volume growth from previous low double-digit volume growth. This reflects the performance in the first half of 2026 as well as the expected portfolio transition with the current Polestar 2 approaching the end of its lifecycle and the planned launch of Polestar 4 SUV in the fourth quarter of 2026. The sales mix and channel mix are expected to continue positively evolving, reflecting our stated strategy of entering fast-growing, high-value segments and growing the retail channel through the introduction of four new vehicles over a three-year period beginning in 2026.

U.S. Restructuring

On June 25, 2026, Polestar announced that it was informed by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security of its decision to not grant Polestar an authorization under the current Connected Vehicle Rule to sell vehicles in the U.S. from model year 2027 onwards. The Company expects to continue selling previous model years in the U.S. from its inventory after which it will cease the sale of new vehicles, with its remaining activities in the U.S. then expected to focus on supporting customers in the U.S., including providing access to its service network and honoring warranty and other product commitments.

As a result of the Bureau of Industry and Security's decision, Polestar has implemented a number of measures affecting its U.S. new vehicles sales operations, including actions relating to employees, dealers and other commercial arrangements (the "U.S. Restructuring"). While Polestar will continue to perform certain activities in the U.S. to support its existing customers, the aforementioned actions, together with the resulting effects on vehicles and related assets, led to material adjustments that are included in the Company’s interim financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026.

Noting the significant judgement and subjectivity involved in arriving at these calculations, in aggregate the Company estimates that the U.S. operations increased its consolidated operating loss by approximately USD 211 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to an increase of approximately USD 110 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, and that the U.S. operations increased its consolidated net loss by approximately USD 211 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to an increase of approximately USD 104 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, in aggregate the Company estimates that the U.S. operations increased its consolidated operating loss by approximately USD 170 million, compared to an increase of approximately USD 84 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, and that the U.S. operations increased its consolidated net loss by approximately USD 165 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to an increase of approximately USD 78 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2025.

Based on current estimates, approximately USD 130 million of negative adjustments related to the U.S. operations arose as a result of the decision from the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security and are included in the Company's consolidated operating loss and net loss for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026. These adjustments primarily related to residual value guarantees costs, net realizable value of inventory, and restructuring provisions related to employees and suppliers/partners costs incurred in the U.S in the reporting period. While these adjustments reflect the Company's assessment of the U.S. Restructuring based on current information, further negative adjustments should be expected in future periods to reflect additional costs related to personnel and inventory as the U.S. Restructuring proceeds through its phases.

Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Polestar uses both generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP", i.e., IFRS) and non-GAAP (i.e., non-IFRS) financial measures to evaluate operating performance and for other strategic and financial decision-making purposes. Polestar believes non-GAAP financial measures are helpful to investors as they provide useful perspective on underlying business trends and assist in period-on-period comparisons. These measures also improve the ability of management and investors to assess and compare the financial performance and position of Polestar with those of other companies.

These non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental information purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not presented under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and, therefore, should only be read in conjunction with financial information reported under GAAP when assessing Polestar's operating performance.

The measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies due to possible differences in calculation methods and items or events being adjusted. A reconciliation between non-GAAP financial measures and the most comparable GAAP performance measures is provided below.

Non-GAAP financial measures used by management are Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Gross Profit / (Loss) and Adjusted Gross Margin.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net loss, adjusted to exclude:

1 - Depreciation and amortization include (a) depreciation and amortization capitalized into the carrying value of inventory sold (i.e., part of inventory costs) and (b) depreciation and amortization expense.

2 - Disposals of investments include disposals, by sales or otherwise, of: (a) debt or equity financial instruments issued by another entity that are held as investments, (b) intangible assets, (c) property, plant, and equipment, and (d) groups of assets and liabilities representing disposal groups that were transferred together as part of individual transactions.

3 - Restructuring costs include expenses associated with programs that were planned and controlled by management and materially changed either (a) the scope of a business undertaken by the Group or (b) the manner in which business is conducted including actions undertaken in response to significant regulatory events.

Management reviews this measure and believes it provides meaningful insight into the core business's underlying operating performance and trends, before the effect of any adjusting items.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is calculated as cash used for operating activities plus cash used to acquire property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. This measure is reviewed by management and management considers it to be a relevant measure for assessing cash generated by operating activities that are available to repay debts and spend on other strategic initiatives.

Adjusted Gross Profit / (Loss) and Adjusted Gross Margin

Adjusted Gross Profit / (Loss) is calculated as gross loss, adjusted to exclude: (i) expenses arising from the impairment of property, plant and equipment, vehicles under operating leases, and intangible assets; and (ii) unusual other items of income or expense that are considered rare or discrete events and are infrequent in nature. Adjusted Gross Margin is calculated as Adjusted Gross Profit / (Loss) divided by revenue. These measures are reviewed by management and management considers them to be useful measures for assessing Polestar's historical operating performance as they facilitate comparison between periods by excluding the non-cash impairment expense, the measurement of which includes significant assumptions related to future periods.
