Lotus Technology Reports Unaudited Third Quarter and First Nine Months 2025 Financial Results

NEW YORK, Nov. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lotus Technology Inc. (“Lotus Tech” or the “Company”), a leading global intelligent and luxury mobility provider, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Operating Highlights of the First Nine Months of 2025

In the first nine months of 2025, the Company achieved total deliveries 1 of 4,612 units, representing a transitional period characterized by the tariff impact, gradual destocking and the phased commencement of upgraded model deliveries.

Deliveries in the first nine months of 2025 were primarily contributed from China and Europe. Growth in China deliveries outpaced the premium auto segment 2 in China, underscoring the competitive strength of the Company’s product portfolio in an increasingly competitive landscape.

Gross margin improved to 8% in the third quarter as a result of a favorable increase in the share of upgraded model in our total deliveries, reflecting healthier inventory dynamics and continued recovery in underlying profitability.

The Company also confirmed that a new PHEV model will be unveiled in the coming months, further expanding its electrification product roadmap and addressing consumer demand in diversified powertrain segments. The PHEV model is expected to feature 900V hybrid platform that provides a combined driving range of over 1,000km, as well as industry leading Dual Hyper Charging technology.

Following Geely’s and Etika’s exercise of their put options in April 2025 and June 2025, the Company is preparing for and steadily advancing the strategic acquisition of Lotus UK. The acquisition is expected to enable the Company to integrate the businesses under the Lotus brand and enhance operational efficiency. While closing is now expected to occur in 2026, the Company maintains active cooperation with Lotus UK and is methodically and prudently developing detailed integration plans to ensure a smooth transition and maximize synergies post-closing.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net loss and adjusted EBITDA in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted net loss represents net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses, and such adjustment has no impact on income tax. Lotus Tech defines adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding interest income, interest expense, income tax expenses, depreciation of property, equipment and software, and share-based compensation expenses. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects. The Company also believes that non-GAAP financial measures allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. For more information on non-GAAP financial measures, please see "Appendix D – Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results (Adjusted net loss/Adjusted EBITDA)" set forth at the end of this press release.
