Q1 2022 Shareholder Letter © 2022 Rivian. All rights reserved. 3 Rivian is building a brand and product portfolio with the objective of maximizing impact in the shift to carbon-neutral transportation. Our pickup, SUV, and last-mile delivery vans serve as launch products for our brand and address large, high-margin segments with category-defining products. On the consumer side, our R1T and R1S are flagship products for our brand, uniquely combining performance, utility, and efficiency. These first two vehicles are critical for establishing Rivian as a company that is focused on inspiring and enabling customers to have the kinds of adventures that are remembered for years to come. The brand we are building transcends segments, form factors, use cases, and geographies. Building a brand around the idea of keeping the world adventurous forever is ultimately a focus on our innate human desire to explore and seek out new experiences. We are encouraged by the tremendous feedback we continue to receive since starting deliveries in late 2021 and are even more excited to see all the adventures our vehicles are enabling. We launched the commercial side of our business with a flagship product and customer. This first product, the Electric Delivery Van (“EDV”), was designed and engineered by Rivian in collaboration with Amazon, our first commercial customer. Initially, there are two sizes of the EDV, the 700 and 500, which provide approximately 700 cubic feet and 500 cubic feet of cargo space, respectively. The EDV is built on our Rivian Commercial Van (“RCV”) platform and has been optimized for operating costs, driver interaction, and connected fleet management. We are now ramping production and deliveries of our R1T, R1S, and EDV 700, and while there have been challenges in ramping these vehicles with the current supply chain backdrop, we couldn’t be more energized about the impact we can deliver. With the above launch products in mind, our goal is to build Rivian into one of the most recognizable brands in the world. We are focused on three key strategies to drive our long-term vision: Increase share in existing markets as we ramp production of our launch products; Extend the depth and breadth of our software and services offerings; and Broaden and diversify our portfolio of consumer and commercial vehicles across multiple price points, form factors, market segments, and geographies. 1. 2. 3. Q1 2022 Rivian Shareholder Letter To ensure continued product leadership as well as long-term structural cost advantages, we have taken the decision to vertically integrate in a number of key areas, including our electronics, software stack, propulsion, and battery systems. We intend these investments to be highly scalable and to lower long-term structural costs across our business, enabling operational efficiencies and rapid growth. We believe the team and capabilities we have developed as part of our clean-sheet approach will continue to differentiate us as the automotive industry evolves.


 
Q1 2022 Shareholder Letter © 2022 Rivian. All rights reserved. 4 Our top priority for 2022 remains ramping production in our Normal, Illinois production facility. During a pandemic and in the context of a highly constrained global supply chain, our team has introduced four different models across two vehicle platforms and produced ~5,000 vehicles since the start of production. Our manufacturing shops are demonstrating strong performance as our weekly production rates continue to climb when not constrained by supply chain limitations. The scale of our impact is ultimately tied to our ability to deliver compelling unit economics. Beyond extensive continuous improvement activities across the vehicles, we look forward to introducing our new Lithium Iron Phosphate (“LFP”) battery, updated electronics, and single motor drive unit, known as "Enduro," that we plan to use in both the EDV for a single-motor application and the R1 for a dual-motor application. As we think about our long-term scale, our goal is to achieve more than 10% global market share. To achieve this goal, we recognize we must earn the right to accelerate the production capacity we bring online by demonstrating a prudent investment process. For current and future plant investments, it is critical that we optimize the efficiency of each dollar spent per unit of capacity while also optimizing to limit our carbon footprint. While we have room for improvement, we have already seen capital efficiency gains between the R1 and RCV platforms. As an example, our dollar per unit of capacity for machinery and equipment between our first line design for the R1 body and our second line design for the RCV body decreased by almost 50%. Additionally, we are investing today in technologies and capabilities for R1 that are designed to benefit future platforms, including R2. Over the medium term, we also plan to employ numerous learnings from our Normal, Illinois plant in our announced plant in Georgia. We believe our experience ramping the R1 and RCV platforms will benefit our next generation R2 platform, which will be key in driving attractive long-term returns on capital. We continue to be encouraged by the progress we are making and the enthusiasm we see from our customers and community. We want to thank our employees, customers, suppliers, partners, communities, and shareholders for continued support for our vision and our journey to help shift our global economy to carbon neutrality.


 
Q1 2022 Shareholder Letter © 2022 Rivian. All rights reserved. 5 Production Progress Our primary objective this year is to ramp production of the R1T, R1S, and EDV vehicles. As of May 9, 2022, we produced ~5,000 vehicles since the start of production. This production ramp requires our equipment, people, systems, and supply chain to operate in unison. Our team is progressing well as we prepare to introduce a second shift toward the middle of this year. Given the component constraints that have been limiting us to date, we have used more of a batch or burst build process to validate that our processes, systems, and equipment are achieving the intended cycle times. Since the beginning of the year, the demonstrated sustained production rate of our production lines has tripled. Supply chain continues to be the bottleneck of our production. This challenge has continued across a small handful of technical components such as semiconductors, as well as a few non-semiconductor components. Since March 31, 2022, we have been forced to stop production for longer periods than anticipated, resulting in approximately a quarter of the planned production time being lost due to supplier constraints. Encouragingly, as we demonstrate our production ramp, our suppliers are leaning in to help ensure we can achieve our targets.


 
Q1 2022 Shareholder Letter © 2022 Rivian. All rights reserved. 6 The parallel development and production of our R1 and EDV vehicles continue to yield synergies as we take learnings from one program and apply them to the others. As R1S production progress continues, we have used the periods of supply constraints and resulting line shutdowns to refine the processes and equipment for R1S. We continue to ramp R1S into our production line and are actively making deliveries of this vehicle. Our EDV production line is benefiting from the learnings from our R1 ramp. Our work integrating the EDV with Amazon’s operations has continued to go well, and we are now ramping production and deliveries of the EDV 700 to Amazon.


 
Q1 2022 Shareholder Letter © 2022 Rivian. All rights reserved. 7 Differentiated Software and Over-The-Air (“OTA”) Capabilities Core to Rivian’s strategy is the full vertical integration of the vehicle’s network architecture and associated topology of Rivian-developed electronic control units (“ECUs”). These platforms span autonomy, battery management, digital experience, body control, vehicle dynamics, and telematics. Underpinning all our vehicle technology is our purpose-built, flexible vehicle operating system. This critical software enables rapid development and robust interaction among our vehicle hardware systems, ECUs, controls, and other software stacks such as those that drive our experience management system. By contrast, the traditional model is both reliant on legacy platforms and utilizes off-the-shelf solutions from many different tier-one suppliers that do not satisfy the need for tightly controlled system integration. This vertical integration of our electronics and software platforms enables us to seamlessly improve the customer experience through new features and enhancements. We can collect diagnostic data to support targeted OTA updates as well as key feature improvements. Diagnostic data collection has allowed us to monitor vehicle health parameters and verify that vehicle performance meets our expectations. As our fleet grows, we expect to see significant cost savings and customer value through predictive service and repair operations. Through this robust use of OTA updates, we have pushed new features such as bird’s-eye view camera, improved Level 2 self-driving features, enhanced driving dynamics, improved infotainment and user interface, garage door pairing, new drive modes, improved air suspension responsiveness, and other new capabilities. We believe the software defined architecture of the R1T, R1S, and EDV is a significant competitive advantage today that will increase in value over time.


 
Q1 2022 Shareholder Letter © 2022 Rivian. All rights reserved. 8 Building out our service network has been a continued focus for us as we aim to provide a convenient and comprehensive offering to our customers. Depending on the customer’s situation, we can offer either physical service via a service center and mobile service or digital service options. If collision repair is needed, we can leverage our network of third- party collision repair centers as well as in-house collision repair. As of May 9, 2022, we had 19 Rivian physical service centers and a fleet of mobile service vehicles in the market. Our East Coast and West Coast service parts distribution centers are fulfilling orders for service parts, merchandise, adventure products, and Level 2 chargers. Our service centers offer more than maintenance and repairs, and many are designed in line with our brand and serve as places where we can perform customer deliveries and demo drives. Our service centers are designed to be tooled and equipped to address all service, warranty, and maintenance needs for consumer vehicles as well as EDVs. In addition, our customers have access to our Service Support Center which offers customers 24/7 emergency assistance, towing, support, and remote diagnostics. Service and Customer Support


 
Q1 2022 Shareholder Letter © 2022 Rivian. All rights reserved. 9 As of May 9, 2022, we had over 90K net R1 preorders from consumers in the U.S. and Canada, all of which have been attracted by organic growth and brand awareness and without any paid marketing or media. Since updating our pricing in March, we have received over 10,000 R1 preorders for the US and Canadian market with an average price of over $93,000. Strong Preorder Base


 
Q1 2022 Shareholder Letter © 2022 Rivian. All rights reserved. 10 New Order Process As demand for our products continues to grow, we remain focused on evolving our preorder processes to better manage our large backlog. Soon we will be launching an updated reservation system for new customers that separates the reservation and configuration steps. New customers will still be able to browse through options; however, the ability to save a specific configuration will not happen until closer to a customer’s build slot. This change ensures that when a build is configured, the customer is choosing from the latest features, packages, and pricing. This new reservation system equips us to better navigate managing a large demand backlog with inflation uncertainties, planned content changes, and enhancements to ensure customers are offered the latest product offerings.

Q1 2022 Shareholder Letter © 2022 Rivian. All rights reserved. 12 Finalizing the Partnership with the State of Georgia In May 2022, together with the Georgia state and local authorities, we finalized and signed an Economic Development Agreement to move forward on our second domestic manufacturing facility, which will be located in Georgia. We are thrilled to be partnering with the state and local communities on this project. We expect the new facility to have a transformative impact on the local economy and believe this investment represents compelling benefits for all stakeholders. The project is estimated to create ~7,500 new jobs as well as an additional ~8,000 indirect jobs. We plan for the new plant to be the production site for our future R2 platform--a more accessibly priced mid-sized SUV targeting global markets. This agreement represents the largest economic development deal in Georgia’s history and offers Rivian a total incentive package of $1.5B. This facility will be critically important to our objective to accelerate the large-scale adoption of sustainable transportation.


 
Q1 2022 Shareholder Letter © 2022 Rivian. All rights reserved. 13 We generated negative gross profit of $(502) million for Q1 2022. As we produce vehicles at low volumes on production lines designed for higher volumes, we have and will continue to experience negative gross profit related to significant labor and overhead costs. This dynamic will continue in the near term, but we expect it will improve on a per vehicle basis as production volumes ramp up faster than future labor and overhead cost increases. Additionally, we recorded a lower of cost or net realizable value (“LCNRV”) adjustment to reflect the amount we anticipate receiving upon vehicle sale (after considering future costs necessary to ready the inventory for sale) and losses on firm purchase commitments. These expenses negatively impacted gross profit in the first quarter of 2022 by $188 million; additionally, we expect these items to continue to negatively impact operating results in near-term periods. We also experienced increased logistics costs due to expedited freight associated with supply chain challenges. Production and Deliveries Gross Profit Financial Highlights Total production for Q1 2022 was 2,553 vehicles. We delivered 1,227 vehicles in Q1 generating $95 million in Revenue.


 
Q1 2022 Shareholder Letter © 2022 Rivian. All rights reserved. 14 In Q1 2022, we recognized a non-cash, stock-based compensation expense of $307 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $38 million in operating expenses. Research and development (“R&D”) expense in Q1 2022 was $547 million, as compared to $289 million in Q1 2021. This number includes stock-based compensation expense of $138 million in Q1 2022, which we had not recognized in Q1 2021, given our IPO was in Q4 2021. The remaining increased R&D expense stemmed from efforts related to our R1 and EDV programs as well as important investments related to other advanced product development activities, including future propulsion platforms and our updated electronics stack. Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expense for Q1 2022 was $530 million, as compared to $121 million in Q1 2021. The primary drivers of this increase were scaling our sales operations, lab facilities, customer-facing facilities, and corporate functions to support future business growth. Additionally, as was the case with R&D expense, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $169 million in Q1 2022. We have built a sales and operations organization that we believe provides exceptional customer experiences, which is a critical investment to ensure our early customers continue to be valuable advocates for Rivian. Overall, our investment in people, technology, and vehicle programs drove the majority of the year-over-year increase in operating expenses in Q1 2022. We experienced a loss from operations in Q1 2022 totaling $(1,579) million, as compared to $(410) million in Q1 2021. Operating Expenses and Operating Loss Our net loss for Q1 2022 was $(1,593) million as compared to $(414) million for the same period last year. The increased losses, as compared to Q1 2021, were due primarily to the higher operating losses discussed above. Adjusted EBITDA¹ for Q1 2022 was $(1,144) million as compared to $(396) million for the same period in the prior year. Net cash used in operating activities for Q1 2022 was $(1,034) million as compared to $(362) million for the same period last year, as we continued to ramp production at our Normal, Illinois plant, scale our corporate and commercial operations, and increase our R&D efforts. Capital expenditures for Q1 2022 were $(418) million, which is essentially flat compared to the same period last year, as we continued to invest in the growth of our business, including continued investments in the manufacturing capabilities at our Normal Factory. We ended Q1 2022 with $16,971 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. This excludes the capacity under our asset-based revolving-credit facility. We define free cash flow as net cash used in operating activities less capital expenditures. As stated above, this larger year-over-year net cash used in operating activities resulted in negative free cash flow¹ of $(1,452) million for Q1 2022 as compared to $(802) million during the same period in 2021. Adjusted EBITDA1 Net Cash Used in Operating Activities Capital Expenditures Liquidity and Free Cash Flow¹ Net Loss ¹A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure is provided at the end of this letter.


 
Q1 2022 Shareholder Letter © 2022 Rivian. All rights reserved. 15 We remain focused on ramping production throughout 2022. We believe that the supply chain constraints will continue to be the limiting factor of our production. Based on the demonstrated production rates and progress we have seen in our facility, we believe if all supply constraints were resolved, our plant would have the ability to run at two times the currently expected output for the remainder of 2022. Based on our latest understanding of the supply chain environment, we reaffirm the annual guidance provided during our fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021 earnings call of 25,000 total units of production, $(4,750) million in Adjusted EBITDA, and $2,600 million of Capital Expenditures. We have optimized our product roadmap and associated operating expenses to ensure we have a path to launch R2 in Georgia in 2025 with our current cash on hand. Business Outlook We will host an audio webcast to discuss its results and provide a business update at 2:00pm PT / 5:00pm ET on Wednesday, May 11, 2022. The link to the webcast will be made available on our Investor Relations website at rivian.com/investors. After the call, a replay will be available at rivian.com/investors for four weeks.
