CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that relate to future events or our future financial performance regarding, among other things, the plans, strategies and prospects, both business and financial, of the Company. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of XL Fleet Corp.’s management team. Although XL Fleet Corp. believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, XL Fleet Corp. cannot assure you that it will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates” or “intends” or similar expressions. The forward-looking statements are based on business plans prepared by, and are the responsibility of, XL Fleet Corp.’s management.

Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:

● our rapid growth may not be sustainable and depends on our ability to attract and retain customers;

● our ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination described below, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and our ability to grow and manage growth profitably;

● our financial and business performance, including financial projections and business metrics;

● our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects and plans;

● the implementation, market acceptance and success of our business model;

● our ability to scale in a cost-effective manner;

● developments and projections relating to our competition and industry;

● our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of World Energy Efficiency Services, LLC or future acquisition targets;

● the impact of health epidemics, including the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, on our business and supply chain and the actions we may take in response thereto;

● our expectations regarding our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection and not infringe on the rights of others;

● our ability to obtain funding for our operations;

● our business, expansion plans and opportunities; and

● the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings.

These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those implied by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are more fully described in Item 1A under the heading “Risk Factors.” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors, within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2021, as amended in our filing on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021, which, as so amended, we refer to as the Annual Report. These factors are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, such as the description of our business set forth in Item 1 and our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in Item 2 describe additional factors that could adversely affect the business, financial condition or results of operations of the XL Fleet Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can the Company assess the impact of all such risk factors on its business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should not put undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. All forward-looking statements attributable to XL Fleet Corp. or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. XL Fleet Corp. undertakes no obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

We were originally known as Pivotal Investment Corporation II, or Pivotal. On December 21, 2020, Pivotal consummated the merger of its wholly-owned subsidiary with and into XL Hybrids, Inc., pursuant to a Merger Agreement, among Pivotal, Pivotal’s subsidiary and XL Hybrids, Inc. (the “Business Combination”). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Pivotal changed its name to XL Fleet Corp.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1. Organization and Description of Business

Description of Business: XL Fleet Corp. and its subsidiaries (“XL Fleet” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of fleet electrification solutions for commercial vehicles in North America, with over 4,300 electrified powertrain systems sold and driven over 150 million miles by over 200 fleets, as of March 31, 2021. XL Fleet’s vision is to become the world leader in fleet electrification solutions, with a mission of accelerating the adoption of fleet electrification systems through cost effective, customer tailored and comprehensive solutions.

Merger and Reorganization: On December 21, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), privately held XL Hybrids, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Legacy XL”) consummated the merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of September 17, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Pivotal Investment Corporation II (“Pivotal”), PIC II Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Pivotal (“Merger Sub”), and Legacy XL. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between Legacy XL and Pivotal was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy XL, with Legacy XL surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pivotal (the “Merger” and, collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). On the Closing Date, and in connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Pivotal Investment Corporation II changed its name to XL Fleet Corp.

COVID-19 Worldwide Pandemic: On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. Since then, extraordinary actions have been taken by international, federal, state, and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions throughout the world. These actions include travel bans, quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders, and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.

Consistent with the actions taken by governmental authorities, the Company has taken appropriately cautious steps to protect its workforce and support community efforts. As part of these efforts, and in accordance with applicable government directives, the Company initially implemented work from home policies where practical at its facilities in late March 2020. Effective March 31, 2021 all 76 employees have been working full-time from one of the 4 offices or from home. Approximately 30 to 40 employees spend the majority of their work time in one of the company’s offices in Boston, MA, Wixom, MI, Quincy, IL, or Foothill Ranch, CA. The balance of the employees have to date been able to effectively work their jobs remotely from their homes with limited disruptions. Current COVID-19 policies include universal facial covering requirements, rearranging facilities to follow social distancing protocols, employees self-screening before going into the office, enhanced cleaning procedures, and strict quarantine protocols for any suspected or confirmed employee cases. This includes universal facial covering requirements, rearranging facilities to follow social distancing protocols, ensuring employees update the company log to log in upon entering the building, conducting regular temperature checks and undertaking regular and thorough disinfecting of surfaces and tools. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the continued precautionary actions taken related to COVID-19 have adversely impacted, and are expected to continue to adversely impact, its operations, its contractors and the automotive original equipment manufacturers.

The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, reduced operations and production line shutdowns at vehicle OEMs due to COVID-19, limitations on travel by the Company’s personnel and personnel of the Company’s customers, and future delays or shutdowns of vehicle OEMs or the Company’s suppliers.

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1. Organization and Description of Business, continued

The COVID-19 pandemic and the protocols and procedures the Company has implemented in response to the pandemic have caused some delays in operational activities. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and results of operations subsequent to March 31, 2021 will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate duration and scope of the outbreak and its impact on its operations and impact on its customers and industry partners.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of consolidated financial statement presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Because the Company holds certain rights that provide the power to direct the activities of variable interests that most significantly impact the VIE economic performance, as well as to potentially receive benefits or the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses, the Company has a controlling interest in such VIEs. The Company reports its consolidated financial information as a single segment. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, as well as reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve deferred income taxes, valuation of share-based compensation, including the fair value of common stock, the valuation of warrant liability, and the valuation of business combinations, including the fair values and useful lives of acquired assets and assumed liabilities and the fair value of purchase consideration. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial statements.

Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and trade receivables. At times, such cash may be in excess of the FDIC limit. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had cash in excess of the $250 federally insured limit. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

With respect to trade receivables, the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that the receivable credit risk exposure is limited. As of March 31, 2021, one customer accounted for approximately 80% of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2020, one customer accounted for approximately 82% of accounts receivable. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, three customers and two customers accounted for approximately 79% and 70% of revenues, respectively.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Cash and cash equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and money market accounts. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are placed with high-credit quality financial institutions and issuers, and at times exceed federally insured limits. To date, the Company has not experienced any credit loss relating to its cash and cash equivalents.

Restricted cash: Restricted cash held at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, consists of bank deposits required for a letter of credit which is reserved for the Company’s California lease.

Accounts receivable: Accounts receivable are stated at the gross invoice amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for potential account losses on the balance based on management’s evaluation of the anticipated impact of current economic conditions, changes in the character and size of the balance, past and expected future loss experience, among other pertinent factors. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $144 and $0, respectively.

Inventory: Inventory is comprised of raw materials, work in process and finished goods. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (determined using the weighted-average cost method) or net realizable value. Cost of raw material inventories include the purchase and related costs incurred in bringing the products to their present location and condition. The Company uses consistent methodologies to evaluate inventory for net realizable value and periodically reviews inventories for obsolescence and any inventories identified as slow moving or obsolete are initially reserved for and then written-off. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s inventory reserve for obsolescence was $215 and $58, respectively.

Fair value measurements: The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company can access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s judgment about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

See Note 7 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

The Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, however the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, contingent consideration liability and warrant liability. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets: Prepaid expenses and other current assets include prepaid insurance, prepaid rent, and supplies, which are expected to be recognized or realized within the next 12 months.

Revenue: The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from the sales of hybrid electric powertrain systems. The Company’s products are marketed and sold to end-user fleet customers and channel partners in the United States and Canada. Sales of products and services are subject to economic conditions and may fluctuate based on changes in the industry, trade policies and financial markets.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Revenue, continued:

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, which occurs when the Company has a present right to payment, legal title has passed to the customer, the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership, and where acceptance is not a formality, the customer has accepted the product or service. In general, transfer of control is upon shipment of the equipment as the terms are FOB shipping point, or equivalent and the Company has no other promised goods or services in its contracts with customers. In limited instances, the Company provides installation services to end-user fleet customers related to the purchased hybrid electric powertrain equipment. When provided, the installation services are not distinct within the context of the contract due to the fact that the end-use fleet customer is purchasing a completed modification to its vehicles and therefore, the installation services involve significant integration to integrate the hybrid electric powertrain equipment with the customer’s vehicle. As a result, the hybrid electric powertrain equipment and installation services represent a single performance obligation within these contracts with customers. The Company recognizes the revenue for the equipment sale and installation service at the same time, which is after the installation is complete. The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities related to contracts with channel partner customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated equipment and not as a separate performance obligation.

The Company provides limited-assurance-type warranties for its equipment and work performed under its contracts. The warranty period typically extends for 3 years following transfer of control of the equipment. The warranties solely relate to correction of product defects during the warranty period, which is consistent with similar warranties by offered by competitors. Therefore, the Company has determined that this warranty is outside the scope of ASC 606 and will continue to be accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees. At the time of purchase of the equipment, customers may purchase from the Company an extended warranty for its equipment. The extended warranty commences upon the end of the assurance-based warranty period and is considered a separate performance obligation that represents a stand-ready obligation to perform warranty services after the assurance-type warranty expires. The transaction price allocated to the extended warranty is recognized ratably over the extended warranty period.

When the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations, the contract transaction price is allocated on a relative standalone selling price (SSP) basis to each performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on observable selling prices for the sale of its systems. For extended warranties, the Company determines SSP based on expected cost plus margin. The Company establishes the margin based on review of market conditions and margins obtained by market participants for similar services. Any allocation of the transaction price required is determined at the contracts’ inception.

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods and services to the customer. Revenue is recorded based on the transaction price, which is solely made up of fixed consideration for its products and services. The Company does not adjust transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between the transfer of the promised good or service to the customer and payment for that good or service by the customer is expected to be one year or less. The Company has not identified any significant financing components to date. The Company’s sales can in certain instances include non-cash consideration in the form of the customer transferring to the Company, the customer’s rights to cash incentives from programs administered by municipalities related to hybrid vehicle programs that a customer is entitled as a result of its purchase. The incentives are fixed amounts that are readily determinable. The Company values the non-cash consideration at its fair value, which generally is the amount of the incentive.

Payment terms on invoices range from 30 to 60 days. The Company excludes from revenue any sales tax and other government-assessed and imposed taxes on revenue generating activities that are invoiced to customers.

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to expense costs to obtain contracts, which principally relate to sales commissions, at the time the liability is incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less.

Warranties: The Company offers a limited warranty generally ranging from one to three years. The Company accrues the estimated cost of product warranties for unclaimed charges based on historical experiences and expected results. Should product failure rates and material usage costs differ from these estimates revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded product warranty liabilities and adjusts the balances as required. Warranty expense is recorded as a component of cost of product revenue in the statements of operations.

Share-based compensation: The Company accounts for its share-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The Company issues stock-based awards to acquire common stock to employees, directors and non-employee consultants. Awards issued under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans include stock options and restricted stock awards. Stock options and restricted stock awards typically contain service based vesting conditions.

Stock Options

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation related to these awards based on the fair value of the awards. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock-based awards, and recognizes the compensation cost on a straight line basis over the requisite service period of the awards for employee, which is typically the four-year vesting period of the award, and effective contract period specified in the award agreement for non-employee. Compensation cost is typically recognized on a straight-line basis.

The fair value of common stock is determined based on the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange at each award grant date.

The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards utilizing the Black-Scholes model is affected by the stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk- free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company does not have a history of trading in its common stock as it was not a public company until December 21, 2020, and as such volatility was estimated using historical volatilities of comparable public entities. The expected life of the awards is estimated based on a simplified method, which uses the average of the vesting term and the original contractual term. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the awards. The dividend yield assumption is based on history and expectation of paying no dividends. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.

The fair value of stock options issued for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was measured with the following assumptions:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021	2020
Expected volatility	78.1 – 79.9%	80.9%
Expected term (in years)	6.25	6.25
Risk-free interest rate	0.4 – 0.5%	1.6%
Expected dividend yield	0.0%	0.0%

Warrant Liabilities: The Company evaluated the Public Warrants (“Public Warrants”) and Private Warrants (“Private Warrants”) (collectively, “Warrants”, which are discussed in Note 7 and Note 8) in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, and concluded that a provision in the Warrant Agreement related to such warrants (“Warrant Agreement”) related to certain tender or exchange offers precludes the Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the Warrants met the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Warrants were initially recorded at fair value as derivative liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at fair value at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, with changes in fair value recognized in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the period of change.

Research and development expense: Research and development costs did not meet the requirements to be recognized as an asset as the associated future benefits were at best uncertain and there was no alternative future use at the time the costs were incurred. Research and development costs include, but are not limited to, costs incurred in performing research and development activities, including salaries, benefits, facilities, research- related overhead, sponsored research costs, contracted services, license fees, and other external costs.

Net income (loss) per share: Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the denominator). Diluted net income (loss) is computed by taking net income (loss) and dividing the diluted net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding (if dilutive) during each period. For purposes of this calculation, potential dilutive common shares include stock options, restricted stock units and warrants.

Related parties: A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

Recent accounting pronouncements issued and adopted: In February 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard, ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most significant among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. Under the new standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2021 and as a result, the Company recorded a ROU asset and lease liability (See Note 5).

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Revenue

The following table represents the Company’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, disaggregated, by sales channel.

Disaggregation of revenue:

	March 31,

Revenue direct to customers	$	111	$	225
Revenue through channel partners		564		1,007
Total revenue	$	675	$	1,232

Remaining performance obligations: At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was approximately $305 in deferred revenue related to unsatisfied extended warranty performance obligations.

Contract Balances: The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed trade accounts receivable, and deferred revenue (contract liabilities) on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company defers certain costs incurred to obtain a contract (contract costs).

Note 3. Revenue, continued

Costs to obtain a contract: Sales commissions paid to internal sales personnel, as well as associated payroll taxes and retirement plan contributions (together, sales commissions and associated costs) that are incremental to the acquisition of customer contracts, are capitalized as capitalized contract acquisition cost on the balance sheet when the period of benefit is determined to be greater than one year. In instances where an extended warranty is sold, the period of benefit would extend beyond 12 months and therefore, the practical expedient would not be met for those contracts and require capitalization of the related costs to obtain those contracts. The Company has elected to allocate the capitalized commissions to performance obligations on a relative basis (i.e., in proportion to the transaction price allocated to each performance obligation) to determine the period of amortization. As a result, substantially all of the commission is allocated to the combined equipment and installation performance obligation and is amortized upon transfer of control of this performance obligation, which typically occurs in the same period in which commission liability is incurred. Total commission expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $256 and $15, respectively. The amount of capitalized commissions as of March 31, 2021 and 2020 was not material.

Warranties: The Company accrues estimated warranty costs at the time of sale related to its assurance-type warranties. In general, manufactured products are warranted for the shorter of three years or 100,000 miles against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose, installed correctly and appropriately maintained. The amount of the accrued warranty liability is estimated based on historical claims rates and warranty fulfillments costs adjusted for any expected changes in fulfillment costs.

The following is a roll-forward of the Company’s accrued warranty liability:

	As of
	March 31, 2021			December 31, 2020
Balance at the beginning of the period	$	1,735		$	1,009
Accrual for warranties issued		44			912
Warranty charges		(82	)		(186	)
Balance at the end of the period	$	1,697		$	1,735

The warranty liability is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 5. ROU Assets and Lease Liabilities

XL Fleet has entered into operating and finance leases as the lessee for office space, R&D and manufacturing facilities, and vehicles. On January 1, 2021 (“Effective Date”), the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), which increases transparency and comparability by recognizing a lessee’s rights and obligations resulting from leases by recording them on the balance sheet as lease assets and lease liabilities. The new guidance requires the recognition of the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and related operating and finance lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the new guidance using the modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2021. As a result, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was not restated and is not comparative.

The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of operating ROU assets of $3,481 and operating lease liabilities of $3,481 on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of finance ROU assets of $897 and finance lease liabilities of $897 on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2021.

The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted within the standard, which allow an entity to forgo reassessing (i) whether a contract contains a lease, (ii) classification of leases, and (iii) whether capitalized costs associated with a lease meet the definition of initial direct costs. Also, the Company elected the expedient allowing an entity to use hindsight to determine the lease term and impairment of ROU assets and the expedient to allow the Company to not have to separate lease and non-lease components. The Company has also elected the short-term lease accounting policy under which the Company would not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset for any lease that at the commencement date has a lease term of twelve months or less and does not include a purchase option that the Company is more than reasonably certain to exercise.

For contracts entered into on or after the Effective Date, at the inception of a contract the Company will assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (i) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (ii) whether the Company obtained the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (iii) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. Leases entered into prior to January 1, 2021, which were accounted for under ASC 840, were not reassessed for classification.

Note 5. ROU Assets and Lease Liabilities, continued

For operating leases, the lease liability is initially and subsequently measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments. For finance leases, the lease liability is initially measured in the same manner and date as for operating leases, and is subsequently presented at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases, unless an interest rate is implicitly stated in the lease. The present value of the lease payments is calculated using the incremental borrowing rate for operating and finance leases, which was determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the noncancelable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend the lease controlled by the lessor. All ROU assets are reviewed periodically for impairment.

Lease expense for operating leases consists of the lease payments plus any initial direct costs and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense for finance leases consists of the amortization of the asset on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or its useful life and interest expense determined on an amortized cost basis, with the lease payments allocated between a reduction of the lease liability and interest expense. 

The Company’s operating leases are comprised primarily of office space and R&D and manufacturing facilities. Finance leases are comprised primarily of vehicle leases. Balance sheet information related to our leases is presented below (ASC 842 was adopted on January 1, 2021):

	March 31,		January 1,		December 31,
	2021		2021		2020

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies

Sponsorship Commitment: On February 24, 2021, the Company agreed to a sponsorship agreement with several entities related to the UBS Arena, Belmont Park and the NY Islanders Hockey Club.  Pursuant to that Agreement, the Company was designated an “Official Electric Transportation Partner of UBS Arena” with various associated marketing and branding rights.  The sponsorship agreement has a term of three years with a sponsor fee of approximately $0.5 million per year.

Equipment Purchase: On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Creative Bus Sales, Inc. to purchase six low floor electric transit buses to be delivered later in 2021 for a total purchase price of $4.1 million. In connection with this agreement, on March 2, 2021, the Company made a nonrefundable down-payment of $0.8 million. These buses will be deployed in the Company’s XL Grid business unit to support the Company’s electrification-as-a-service strategy.

Legal proceedings: The Company is periodically involved in legal proceedings, legal actions and claims arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings relating to product liability, intellectual property, safety and health, employment and other matters. Management believes that the outcome of such legal proceedings, legal actions and claims will not have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On March 8, 2021, a putative class action complaint was filed in federal district court for the Southern District of New York (Suh v. XL Fleet Corp., et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-02002) against the Company and certain of its current officers and directors (the “Suh Complaint”). On March 12, 2021, a second putative class action complaint was filed in federal district court for the Southern District of New York (Kumar v. XL Fleet Corp., et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-02171) against the Company and certain of its current officers and directors (the “Kumar Complaint”). Both the Suh Complaint and the Kumar Complaint allege that certain public statements made by the defendants between October 2, 2020 and March 2, 2021 violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Company believes that the allegations asserted in the Suh Complaint and Kumar Complaint are without merit, and the Company intends to vigorously defend both lawsuits. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate potential losses, if any, related to either lawsuit.

Note 11. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Numerator:
Net income / (loss)	$	61,914	$	(6,454	)
Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding, basic		135,575,145		82,165,241
Dilutive effect of options, warrants, and restricted stock units		12,996,234		-
Weighted average shares outstanding, diluted		148,571,379		82,165,241
Net income (loss) per share, basic	$	0.46	$	(0.08	)
Net income (loss) per share, diluted	$	0.42	$	(0.08	)

The Company’s contingently issuable unvested restricted stock did not meet the performance based vesting condition as of March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Potential dilutive securities, which include stock options, warrants and restricted stock units have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, for this period the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share is the same.

The number of shares underlying outstanding stock options and warrants:

	As of March 31,
	2021		2020
Stock options		11,084,884		11,584,747
Private Warrants		4,233,333		-
XL Legacy Warrants		6,117		2,507,338
Restricted stock units		35,176		-

Overview

We are a leading provider of fleet electrification solutions for commercial vehicles in North America, with over 4,300 electrified powertrain systems sold and having driven over 150 million miles by over 200 fleets as of March 31, 2021. Our vision is to become the world leader in fleet electrification solutions, with a mission of accelerating the adoption of fleet electrification systems through cost effective, customer tailored and comprehensive solutions.

In over 10 years of operations, we have built one of the largest end-use commercial fleet customer bases of any Class 2-6 vehicle electrification company in North America. Our fleet electrification solutions for commercial vehicles provide the market with cost-effective hybrid and plug-in hybrid solutions with on-board telematics that are widely available for sale and deployment across a broad range of popular vehicle chassis from the world’s leading OEMs. We believe we are positioned to capitalize on our market leadership as we expand our product offering into additional propulsion technologies including full battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell systems, heavier vehicles such as Class 7-8 vehicles, additional vehicle models in Class 2-6 and comprehensive vehicle charging and energy solutions. We currently sell most of our systems through a network of commercial vehicle upfitters, which we estimate already produces over 100,000 commercial vehicles a year.

Our current electrified drive systems are comprised of an electric motor that is mounted onto the vehicle’s drive shaft, an inverter motor controller, and a lithium-ion battery pack to store energy to be used for propulsion. We deploy our electrified drive systems (XLH™ and XLP™) onto the chassis of vans, pickups, shuttle buses, delivery trucks, and many other commercial vehicles produced by OEMs such as Ford, GMC, Chevrolet and Isuzu. This technology can be installed as the vehicles are being manufactured by industry standard second stage manufacturers, known as upfitters, in less than one day, with no negative impact on the vehicles’ operational performance or factory warranties and with reduced maintenance cost. Our electrified powertrain systems capture and store energy during braking and subsequently deploy that energy into the driveline during acceleration, operating in parallel with the existing OEM drive train. In addition, our plug-in hybrid system offers the ability to supplement this energy via a connection with an AC electricity source, including a level 1 or level 2 charger. Our systems enable vehicles to burn less fuel and emit less CO2, resulting in increases of up to a 25-50% MPG improvement and up to a 20-33% reduction in GHG emissions. To date, vehicles deploying our electrification solutions have driven over 150 million miles.

We are developing additional offerings to extend our range of electrification options with plans to include full battery electric propulsion (“XL ELECTRIC™”) and, hydrogen fuel cell electric systems. We further intend to deliver our systems on a broader range of vehicle applications (including Class 8 products and electrified refuse vehicles, among other applications). In addition, we plan to offer comprehensive charging solutions (“XL GRID™”) and EaaS which would finance and manage vehicles, powertrains, charging systems, on-site power and energy storage systems while charging customers on a usage and time basis.

Recent Developments

Sponsorship Commitment: On February 24, 2021, we agreed to a sponsorship agreement with several entities related to the UBS Arena, Belmont Park and the NY Islanders Hockey Club.  Pursuant to that Agreement, we were designated an “Official Electric Transportation Partner of UBS Arena” with various associated marketing and branding rights.  The sponsorship agreement has a term of three years with a sponsor fee of approximately $0.5 million per year.

Equipment Purchase: On March 1, 2021, we entered into an agreement with Creative Bus Sales, Inc. to purchase six low floor electric transit buses to be delivered later in 2021 for a total purchase price of $4.1 million. In connection with this agreement, on March 2, 2021, we made a nonrefundable down- payment of $0.8 million. These buses will be deployed in the Company’s XL Grid business unit to support the Company’s electrification-as-a-service strategy.

Public Health Emergency of International Concern: On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. Since then, extraordinary actions have been taken by international, federal, state, and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions throughout the world. These actions include travel bans, quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders, and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.

Consistent with the actions taken by governmental authorities, we have taken appropriately cautious steps to protect our workforce and support community efforts. Effective March 31, 2021 all 76 employees have been working full-time from one of the four offices or from home. Approximately 30 to 40 employees spend the majority of their work time in one of our offices in Boston, MA, Wixom, MI, Quincy, IL, or Foot Hill Ranch, CA. The balance of the employees have to date been able to work their jobs remotely from their homes with limited disruptions. Current COVID policies include universal facial covering requirements, rearranging facilities to follow social distancing protocols, employees self-screening before going into the office, enhanced cleaning procedures, and strict quarantine protocols for any suspected or confirmed employee cases. This includes universal facial covering requirements, rearranging facilities to follow social distancing protocols, conducting regular temperature checks and undertaking regular and thorough disinfecting of surfaces and tools. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the continued precautionary actions taken related to COVID-19 have adversely impacted, and are expected to continue to adversely impact, its operations, its contractors and the automotive original equipment manufacturers. COVID-19 and actions taken to mitigate its spread have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which we operate.

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, reduced operations and production line shutdowns at vehicle OEMs due to COVID-19, limitations on travel by our personnel and personnel of our customers, and future delays or shutdowns of vehicle OEMs or our suppliers.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the protocols and procedures we have implemented in response to the pandemic have caused some delays in operational activities. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and results of operations subsequent to March 31, 2021 will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate duration and scope of the outbreak and its impact on its operations and impact on its customers and industry partners.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, we believe the extent of the impact to our business, operating results, cash flows, liquidity and financial condition will be primarily driven by the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the pandemic’s impact on the U.S. and global economies and the timing, scope and effectiveness of federal, state and local governmental responses to the pandemic. Those primary drivers are beyond our knowledge and control, and as a result, at this time we are unable to predict the cumulative impact, both in terms of severity and duration, that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition, but it could be material if the current circumstances continue to exist for a prolonged period of time. Although we have made our best estimates based upon current information, actual results could materially differ from the estimates and assumptions developed by management. Accordingly, it is reasonably possible that the estimates made in the financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, and if so, we may be subject to future impairment losses related to long-lived assets as well as changes to recorded reserves and valuations. In addition, we believe that the impact of the global microchip shortage that the entire vehicle industry is currently experiencing will adversely impact our operating results in fiscal year 2021.

Public Company Costs

As a consequence of the Merger, we are an NYSE-listed company, which required us to hire a chief financial officer and additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We expect to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees.

Additionally, we expect our capital and operating expenditures will increase significantly in connection with ongoing activities as we:

● increase our investment in marketing, advertising, sales and distribution infrastructure for our existing and future products and services;

● develop additional new products and enhancements to existing products;

● obtain, maintain and improve our operational, financial and management performance;

● hire additional personnel;

● obtain, maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio; and

● operate as a public company.

25

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

We believe that our performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in the section entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Business and Industry.”

We are a leader in fleet electrification which represents a very large market opportunity as the commercial fleet industry transforms to more sustainable operations in the coming decades. To capitalize on this opportunity, we have a strategy to leverage our existing products and sales channels to market while also expanding our product line through new product development and expanding our capability to market and sell those products. Key factors affecting our operating results include our ability to increase sales of our current product offerings and expand our product offerings in the future and to realize customer demand for such product offerings. We believe that the size of our sales opportunity pipeline and committed backlog are important indicators of future performance. There are challenges and risks to our plan to capture these opportunities, such as:

● system architecture design choices must provide adequate functionality and value for customers;

● component sourcing agreements must deliver targets for cost reduction while maintaining high quality and reliability;

● design, development and validation of new product systems must be on time and on budget to meet the opportunity in the market and capacity to develop and commercialize these new products will have to be increased; and

● sales and marketing efforts must be effective in forging the relationships to deliver these products to market and generate demand from the end users and channel partners. We will need to increase our capabilities in market segment analysis and understanding as it relates to system requirements and functionality.

● OEMs and principal equipment component suppliers must be able to provide ample supply throughout the year to meet our sales goals. We have experienced interruptions in OEM vehicle supply amid a worldwide microchip shortage which caused the OEMs to stop taking fleet orders for much of the first half of the year 2021. Some of our customers will not purchase our electric propulsion systems without OEM vehicle chassis on which to install those systems. This could have an adverse impact on our operating results in fiscal year 2021.

Key Components of Statements of Operations

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for the discovery and development of our electrified powertrain offerings, which include:

● personnel-related expenses including salaries, benefits, travel and share-based compensation, for personnel performing research and development activities;

● fees paid to third parties such as consultants and contractors for outsourced engineering services;

● expenses related to prototype materials, supplies and third-party services; and

● depreciation for equipment used in research and development activities.

We expect our research and development costs to increase substantially for the foreseeable future as we expect to use a significant portion of the proceeds from the Business to accelerate development of product enhancements and additional new products.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of personnel-related expenses for our corporate, executive, finance, sales, marketing and other administrative functions, expenses for outside professional services, including legal, audit and accounting services, as well as expenses for facilities, depreciation, amortization, travel, sales and marketing costs. Personnel-related expenses consist of salaries, benefits and share-based compensation. We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we scale headcount with the growth of our business, and as a result of operating as a public company, including compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC that may include legal, audit, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services.

26

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income and expense consists of interest expense net of interest income, loss on extinguishment of debt, change in fair value of warrant liability, and change in fair value of convertible notes payable derivative liabilities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial position and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates, which include estimates related to stock-based compensation expense, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. We base our estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates or assumptions.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

The consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are presented below:

	Three Months Ended March 31,						$ Change			% Change

Revenues

Revenues decreased by $0.6 million, or 45.2%, to $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to interruptions in OEM vehicle supply amid a worldwide microchip shortage which caused the OEMs to stop taking fleet orders for much of the first half of the year 2021. Demand has also lagged as scheduled purchases of our products have been hindered while state and local municipalities address budget cuts and shortfalls.

27

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues increased by $0.1 million, or 8.3%, to $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was due to charges incurred for obsolete and slow moving inventory and the impact of fixed production labor costs.

Gross Profit (Loss)

Gross loss increased by $0.7 million, or 1,276.9%, to $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase in gross loss was primarily due to lower sales volume and charges incurred for obsolete, slow moving inventory and fixed production labor costs.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased by $0.4 million, or 39.3%, to $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the hiring of additional engineering staff to support unit sales growth and to further develop our product line.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $5.5 million, or 219.5%, to $8.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to costs incurred as a public company, including an increase in accounting, legal, and other professional fees of approximately $2.9 million, additions to headcount contributed to an increase in employee compensation of approximately $1.6 million, inclusive of an increase of stock based compensation of approximately $0.4 million, and approximately $0.8 million of increased infrastructure costs, including technology, insurance, vehicle and facility startup expenses.

Other (Income) Expense

Interest expense, net decreased by $1.3 million, or 99.2%, to $0.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily due to the Company repaying or converting substantially all debt prior to December 31, 2020. We incurred a loss on extinguishment of $1.0 million in connection with the amendment of certain convertible notes for the three months ended March 31, 2020. There was no loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The change in fair value of warrant liability of $72.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was principally due to a decrease in the fair value of our Common Stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2021, we had working capital of $409.4 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $404.1 million. We had net income of $61.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and incurred a net loss of $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, 7,441,020 public warrants were exercised, which resulted in the issuance of 7,441,020 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, generating cash proceeds of approximately $85.6 million. 

We expect to continue to incur net losses in the short term, as we continue to execute on our strategic initiatives to optimize our production for scale, invest in the sales and channel teams, and expand our products and services. Based on our current liquidity, we believe that no additional capital will be needed to execute our current business plan over the next 12 months.

Cash Flows Summary

Presented below is a summary of our operating, investing and financing cash flows:

	Three Months Ended  March 31,
	2021			2020
Net cash provided by (used in)
Operating activities	$	(9,962	)	$	(4,511	)
Investing activities	$	(1,104	)	$	(94	)
Financing activities	$	85,557		$	8,134
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	74,491		$	3,529

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities

The net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $10.0 million. Sources consisted of net income of $61.9 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $2.8 million, an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $1.4 million, and noncash items in the aggregate of $0.8 million. The sources of cash were offset by a change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $72.0 million, an increase of inventory of $3.6 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $1.3 million. The net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $4.5 million which consisted of a net loss of $6.5 million, offset principally by a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.0 million and debt discount amortization of $0.9 million.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

The net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $1.1 million which consisted of purchases of equipment and a deposit of $0.8 million towards an agreement to purchase electric buses. The net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $0.1 million which consisted of the purchase of R&D equipment.

Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities

The net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $85.6 million, substantially all of which consisted of proceeds from the exercise of public warrants. The net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $8.1 million which consisted of proceeds from the issuance of subordinated convertible promissory notes of $8.1 million.

Related Parties

We are party to a noncancelable lease agreement for office, research and development, and vehicle development and installation facilities with a holder of more than 5% of our Common Stock. The lease term extends through February 29, 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement, we currently pay monthly rent installments of $19,473 for this property. The lease includes a rent escalation clause, and rent expense is being recorded on a straight-line basis. Rent expense under the operating lease for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the periods presented, other than the New Markets Tax Credit variable interest entity, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, which were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles of the U.S. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the consolidated balance sheet date, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

29

While our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our historical financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (see Note 2 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of XL), we believe that the following accounting policies require a greater degree of judgment and complexity: revenue recognition, business combinations and convertible notes derivative accounting. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.

Business combinations: We account for the acquisition of a business in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805). Amounts paid to acquire a business are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. We determine the fair value of purchase consideration, including contingent consideration, and acquired intangible assets based on detailed valuations that use certain information and assumptions provided by management. We allocate any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired to goodwill. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in the financial statements from the date of acquisition forward. Acquisition-related costs are expensed in periods in which the costs are incurred.

We use the income approach to determine the fair value of developed technology acquired in a business combination. This approach determines fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to the respective asset over its useful life and then discounting these after-tax cash flows back to a present value. We base our revenue assumptions on estimates of relevant market sizes, expected market growth rates, expected trends in technology and expected product introductions by competitors. Developed technology represents patented and unpatented technology and know-how.

Revenue Recognition: Our revenue is primarily derived from the sales of hybrid electric powertrain equipment. Our products are marketed and sold to end-user fleet customers and channel partners in the United States and Canada. Sales of products and services are subject to economic conditions and may fluctuate based on changes in the industry, trade policies and financial markets.

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, which occurs when we have a present right to payment, legal title has passed to the customer, the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership, and where acceptance is not a formality, the customer has accepted the product or service. In general, transfer of control is upon shipment of the equipment as the terms are free on board shipping point, or equivalent and we have no other promised goods or services in our contracts with customers. In limited instances, we provide installation services to end-user fleet customers related to the purchased hybrid electric powertrain equipment. When provided, the installation services are not distinct within the context of the contract due to the fact that the end-use fleet customer is purchasing a completed modification to our vehicles and therefore, the installation services involve significant integration to integrate the hybrid electric powertrain equipment with the customer’s vehicle. As a result, the hybrid electric powertrain equipment and installation services represent a single performance obligation within these contracts with customers. We have elected to treat shipping and handling activities related to contracts with channel partner customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated equipment and not as a separate performance obligation.

We provide limited-assurance-type warranties for our equipment and work performed under our contracts. The warranty period typically extends for 3 years following transfer of control of the equipment. The warranties solely relate to correction of product defects during the warranty period, which is consistent with similar warranties offered by competitors. Therefore, we have determined that this warranty is outside the scope of ASC 606 and will continue to be accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees. At the time of purchase of the equipment, customers may purchase from us an extended warranty for our equipment. The extended warranty commences upon the end of the assurance-based warranty period and is considered a separate performance obligation that represents a stand-ready obligation to perform warranty services after the assurance-type warranty expires. The transaction price allocated to the extended warranty is recognized ratably over the extended warranty period.

When our contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations, the contract transaction price is allocated on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) basis to each performance obligation. We determine standalone selling prices based on observable selling prices for the sale of kits. For extended warranties, we determine SSP based on expected cost plus margin. We establish the margin based on review of market conditions and margins obtained by market participants for similar services. Any allocation of the transaction price required is determined at the contracts’ inception.

Warrant liabilities: We account for the warrants issued in connection with our initial public offering in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815”), under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. As the warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Warrants are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations in the period of change.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We may elect not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard, until such time we are no longer considered to be an emerging growth company. At times, we may elect to early adopt a new or revised standard. See Note 2 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements herein and Note 3 of the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report for the recent accounting pronouncements adopted and the recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted for the three months ending March 31, 2021 and 2020.

30

In addition, we intend to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an emerging growth company, we intend to rely on such exemptions, we will not be required to, among other things: (a) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (b) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (c) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (d) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

We will remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (a) December 31, 2024 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the consummation of Pivotal’s initial public offering), (b) the last date of our fiscal year in which it has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.1 billion, (c) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with at least $700.0 million of outstanding securities held by non-affiliates or (d) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three years.

New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are applicable to us as of the specified effective date. As of March 31, 2021, there are no new accounting pronouncements not yet adopted that will have an impact on our financial position or results of operation.

As an “emerging growth company”, we can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not required.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Management’s Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in paragraph (e) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021.

Based on this evaluation, including the presence of a material weakness as discussed below and the continuation of the material weaknesses described in our Annual Report, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2021.

Subsequent to the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company determined that there were material errors within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Specifically, the Company identified a material weakness in internal controls related to the accounting for warrants issued in connection with our initial public offering. Our internal control over financial reporting did not result in the proper classification of certain of the warrants we issued in July 2019 which, due to its impact on our financial statements, we determined to be a material weakness.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the hiring of our Chief Financial Officer on April 19, 2021, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a description of our material pending legal proceedings, see Legal Proceedings in Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risk Factors

An investment in our securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks described below, together with other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the other information and documents we file with the SEC, including our Annual Report. The occurrence of any of the following risks could have a material and adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects, as well as our ability to accomplish our strategic objectives. As a result, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations and stock price.

There have not been any material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020 other than those disclosed below.

Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement governing our warrants. As a result of the SEC Statement, we reevaluated the accounting treatment of our 7,666,667 public warrants and 4,233,333 private placement warrants as of December 31, 2020, and determined to classify the warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings.

As a result, included on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report are derivative liabilities related to embedded features contained within our warrants. Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides for the remeasurement of the fair value of such derivatives at each balance sheet date, with a resulting non-cash gain or loss related to the change in the fair value being recognized in earnings in the statement of operations. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our consolidated financial statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly, based on factors, which are outside of our control. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on our warrants each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material.

As discussed under “Risks Related to Owning Our Securities – The Price of our Common Stock may be volatile,” the price of our Common Stock may fluctuate. The volatility of the Common Stock directly impacts the fair value of the Warrants; hence, continued volatility in the price of our Common Stock could result in a corresponding volatility in the fair value of the liability associated with the Warrants.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Following this issuance of the SEC Statement, on April 22, 2021, after consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, our management and our audit committee concluded that, in light of the SEC Statement, it was appropriate to restate our previously issued audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Restatement”). See “—Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.” As part of such process, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.

32

We may face litigation and other risks as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Following the issuance of the SEC Statement, after consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, we concluded that it was appropriate to restate our previously issued audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020. See “—Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.” As part of the Restatement, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.

As a result of such material weakness, the Restatement, the change in accounting for the warrants, and other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, we face potential for litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the Restatement and material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, we have no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute, other than those related to the matters described under the heading “Legal Proceedings”. However, we can provide no assurance that additional litigation or disputes will not arise in the future. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition or our ability to complete a Business Combination.

We intend to pursue acquisitions, investments, joint ventures and dispositions, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our growth strategy includes the acquisition of, and investment in, businesses that offer complementary products, services and technologies, augment our market coverage, or enhance our technological capabilities, such as our recent acquisition of World Energy Efficiency Services, LLC, or World Energy. We may also enter into strategic alliances or joint ventures to achieve these goals. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition, investment, alliance, or joint venture opportunities, or to consummate any such transactions. In addition, our original estimates and assumptions used in assessing any transaction may be inaccurate and we may not realize the expected financial or strategic benefits of any such transaction, including our recent acquisition of World Energy.

Any future growth through acquisitions will depend in part upon the continued availability of suitable acquisition candidates at attractive prices, terms and conditions, as well as sufficient liquidity and credit to fund these acquisitions. We may incur significant additional debt from time to time to finance any such acquisitions, which could increase the risks associated with our leverage, including our ability to service our debt. Acquisitions involve risks that business judgments made concerning the value, strengths and weaknesses of businesses acquired may prove to be incorrect. Future acquisitions and any necessary related financings also may involve significant transaction-related expenses, which could include severance, lease termination, transaction and deferred financing costs, among others.

We may experience, challenges in integrating operations and information technology systems acquired from other companies. This could result in the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns and the potential loss of our key employees or clients or those of the acquired operations. The integration process itself may be costly and may adversely impact our business and the acquired company’s business as it requires coordination of geographically diverse organizations and implementation of accounting and information technology systems.

We complete acquisitions with the expectation that they will result in various benefits, but the anticipated benefits of these acquisitions are subject to a number of uncertainties, including the ability to timely realize accretive benefits, the level of attrition from professionals licensed or associated with the acquired companies and whether we can successfully integrate the acquired business. Failure to achieve these anticipated benefits could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues and diversion of management’s time and energy, which could in turn materially and adversely affect our overall business, financial condition and operating results.

World Energy relies on a limited number of customers for a large portion of its revenues, and the loss of one or more such customers could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

World Energy depends on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of its revenue. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, World Energy had one customer that accounted for 73% of its revenues and another customer that accounted for 13% of its revenues. The loss of either of these customers could have a significant impact on our revenues and harm our business, results of operations and cash flows.
