Note 1 - Overview and basis of preparation
General information
Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC (the “Parent”), together with its subsidiaries, hereafter referred to as “Polestar," “Polestar Group,” and the “Group," is a limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom. Polestar Group operates principally in the automotive industry, engaging in research and development, branding and marketing, and the commercialization and selling of battery electric vehicles, and related technology solutions. Polestar Group's current lineup of battery electric vehicles consists of the Polestar 2 ("PS2"), a premium fast-back sedan, the Polestar 3 ("PS3"), a luxury aero sport-utility vehicle, the Polestar 4 ("PS4"), a premium sport utility vehicle, the Polestar 5 ("PS5"), a luxury sport grand-touring sedan, and the Polestar 6 ("PS6"), a luxury roadster. As of June 30, 2024, the PS2, PS3, and PS4 are in production while the remaining vehicles are under development. Operating sustainably is a critical priority of the Group; targeting climate neutrality by 2040, creating a climate neutral car (cradle-to-gate) by 2030, and halving the emission intensity per car sold by 2030. Polestar Group has a presence in 27 markets across Europe, North America, and Asia. Polestar Group has its management headquarters located at Assar Gabrielssons väg 9, 41878 Göteborg, Sweden.
As of June 30, 2024, related parties owned 81.8% of the Group. The remaining 18.2% of the Group was owned by external investors.
Basis of preparation
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this interim report of Polestar Group are prepared in accordance International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and UK-adopted international accounting standards. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below. For group financial reporting purposes, Polestar Group companies apply the same accounting principles, irrespective of national legislation, as defined in the Group accounting directives. Such accounting principals have been applied consistently for all periods, unless otherwise stated.
This interim report is prepared in the presentation currency, U.S. Dollar (“USD”). All amounts are stated in thousands of USD (“TUSD”), unless otherwise stated.
Periods discussed prior to June 23, 2022 represent the operations of Polestar Automotive Holding Limited and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Going concern
Polestar Group’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes Polestar Group will continue as a going concern and the ordinary course of business will continue in alignment with management’s 2024-2028 business plan.
Management assessed Polestar Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and evaluated whether there are certain events or conditions, considered in the aggregate, that may cast substantial doubt about Polestar’s ability to continue as a going concern. All information available to management, including cash flow forecasts, liquidity forecasts, and internal risk assessments, pertaining to the twelve-month period after the issuance date of these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements was used in performing this assessment.
As a result of scaling up commercialization and continued capital expenditures related to the PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5, and PS6, managing the Company’s liquidity profile and funding needs remains one of management’s key priorities. If Polestar is not able to raise the necessary funds through operations, equity raises, debt financing, or other means, the Group may be required to delay, limit, reduce, or, in the worst case, terminate research and development and commercialization efforts. Since inception, Polestar Group has generated recurring net losses and negative operating and investing cash flows. Net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $539,485 and $340,830, respectively. Negative operating and investing cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $524,747 and $939,410, respectively. Management’s 2024-2028 business plan indicates that Polestar will generate negative operating cash flows in the near future and positive operating cash flows starting the second half of 2025; investing cash flows of Polestar will continue to be negative in the near and long-term future due to the nature of Polestar’s business. Securing financing to support operating and development activities represents an ongoing challenge for Polestar Group.
Polestar Group primarily finances its operations through short-term working capital loan arrangements with credit institutions (i.e., 12 months or less), contributions from shareholders, extended trade credit from related parties, and long-term financing arrangements with related parties. Management’s 2024-2028 business plan indicates that Polestar Group depends on additional financing that is expected to be funded via a combination of new short-term working capital loan arrangements, long-term loan arrangements, shareholder loans with related parties, and executing capital market transactions through offerings of debt and/or equity. The timely realization of these financing endeavors is crucial for Polestar Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If Polestar is unable to obtain financing from these sources or if such financing is not sufficient to cover forecasted operating and investing cash flow needs, Polestar Group will need to seek additional funding through other means (e.g., issuing new shares of equity or issuing bonds). Management has no certainty that Polestar Group will be successful in securing the funds necessary to continue operating and development activities as planned.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, Polestar demonstrated efforts towards achieving liquidity targets in management's 2024-2028 business plan by:
Securing long-term financing support from credit institutions; and
Entering into multiple short-term working capital loan arrangements with banking partners in China.
Polestar is party to financing instruments during the 12 months following the reporting period that contain financial covenants with which Polestar must comply. A failure to comply with such covenants may result in an event of default that could have material
F-8

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)
adverse effects on the business. Due to the factors discussed above, there is material uncertainty as to whether Polestar will be able to comply with all covenants in future periods. Remedies to an event of default include proactively applying for a covenant waiver prior to such event of default occurring.
Based on these circumstances, management reasonably expects there to be sufficient liquidity in the twelve-month period after the issuance date of these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in order for Polestar to meet its cash flow requirements, but there is substantial doubt about Polestar’s ability to continue as a going concern. There are ongoing efforts in place to mitigate the uncertainty. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to factor for the going concern uncertainty.
Note 2 - Significant accounting policies and judgements
Adoption of new and revised standards
Effects of new and amended IFRS
Management has concluded the adoption of new standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2024 did not have a material impact on the Group’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For a detailed assessment of the Group’s adoption of new and revised standards, refer to Note 2 - Significant accounting policies and judgements of the Consolidated Financial Statements for Polestar Automotive Holding Limited, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for the three years ended December 31, 2023 that were included in the Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 14, 2024.
New and amended IFRS issued by not yet effective
Management has concluded the adoption of any of the below accounting pronouncements, that were issued but not effective during the six months ended June 30, 2024, will not have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements, unless otherwise noted.
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements ("IFRS 18"), which outlines the requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in financial statements. It includes the requirement to classify income and expenses into three new categories: operating, investing, and financing. IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 and will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027.
In May 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 19, Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures ("IFRS 19"), which specifies reduced disclosure requirements that eligible entities can apply instead of the disclosure requirements in other IFRS accounting standards. This standard for annual periods is effective beginning on or after January 1, 2027.
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures ("IFRS 7"), and IFRS 9, Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9"), which clarify certain elements of recognition, derecognition, classification, measurement, and disclosure of financial instruments. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
Presentation, basis of consolidation, segment reporting, and foreign currency
For a detailed description of the Group’s presentation, basis of consolidation, segment reporting, and foreign currency, including currency risk, refer to Note 2 - Significant accounting policies and judgements and Note 3 - Financial risk management of the Consolidated Financial Statements for Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for the three years ended December 31, 2023, that were included in the Form 20-F filed with the SEC on August 14, 2024. There are no changes for the periods presented in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Restatement
During the year ended December 31, 2023, management identified various misstatements in our previously issued 2021 and 2022 annual financial statements. In these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, comparative information related to the six months ended June 30, 2023 has been restated to align its presentation with the revisions during 2023 and correct for the carryforward impacts of the misstatements in our previously issued 2021 and 2022 annual financial statements.
The prior period errors relate primarily to (i) accounting for inventories, including the accounting treatment of certain launch costs, capitalizable expenses into inventory and valuation adjustments for internal use cars, (ii) accounting for accruals and deferrals, (iii) capitalization of expenses, (iv) other errors relating to reclassifications between financial statement captions and (v) deferred taxes and income taxes.
Management has assessed the materiality of the misstatements on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2023, and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, in accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 1.M, Materiality. Based on this, management concluded that the prior period financial statements should be corrected, even though such revision previously was and continues to be immaterial to the prior period financial statements. Accordingly, these misstatements have been corrected, including the previously recorded out of period adjustments, for all periods presented by revising the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the impact of these revisions. Refer to Note 18 - Restatement of prior period financial statements for reconciliations between originally reported and as revised interim amounts.
Accounting policies and use of estimates and judgements
Polestar Group continues to apply the same accounting policies, methods, estimates, and judgements as described in Note 2 - Significant accounting policies and judgements of the Consolidated Financial Statements for Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for the three years ended December 31, 2023, that were included in the Form 20-F filed with
F-9

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)
the SEC on August 14, 2024. Management reviews its estimates and judgements on a continuous basis; changes in accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised, and prospectively thereafter. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates using different assumptions or under different conditions. The Group did not have any events or new instruments requiring the application of new critical estimates and judgements during the six months ended June 30, 2024. However, the latest inputs to existing instruments requiring critical estimates and judgements utilized by the Group during the six months ended June 30, 2024 are detailed below. Additions to the Group's accounting policies and methods due to new events that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2024 are included below as well.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of Class A Shares and Class B Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the net income for the period and the weighted average number of Class A Shares and Class B Shares outstanding for the effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares (“POSs”) outstanding during the period (i.e., Class A Shares and/or Class B Shares that the Group is obligated to issue, or might issue under certain circumstances, in accordance with various contractual arrangements). The Group’s POSs are classified based on the nature of their instrument or arrangement and then the earnings per incremental share (“EPIS”) is calculated for each class of POS to determine if they are dilutive or anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive POSs are excluded from the calculation of dilutive earnings per share.
EPIS is calculated as (1) the consequential effect on profit or loss from the assumed conversion of the class of POS (i.e., the numerator adjustment) divided by (2) the weighted average number of outstanding POSs for the class (i.e., the denominator adjustment). The EPIS denominator adjustment depends on the class of POS. The Group’s classes of POSs and their related EPIS denominator adjustment methods are as follows:
POS ClassEPIS Denominator Adjustment Method
Unvested equity-settled RSUs and RSAs1
Treasury share2
Class C SharesTreasury share
Earn-out Rights and PSUsThe number of shares issuable if the reporting date were the end of the contingency period
Convertible Credit Facilities with Volvo Cars and Geely
If the instrument is converted, the number of shares issued on the
date of the conversion
1 - Restricted Stock Awards ("RSAs") are related to the Group's employee stock purchase plan implemented in January 2024.
2 - The treasury share method prescribed by IAS 33, Earnings Per Share (“IAS 33”), includes only the bonus element as the EPIS denominator adjustment. The bonus element is the difference between the number of ordinary shares that would be issued at the exercise of the options and the number of ordinary shares deemed to be repurchased at the average market price.
Financial instruments
Trade receivables factoring
In situations where Polestar Group enters into an arrangement to sell trade receivables to a third party (i.e., a factor) at a discount, the sale is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9"). Polestar Group evaluates whether these transactions are with or without recourse and applies the derecognition criteria in IFRS 9 to determine if substantially all the risks and rewards of the trade receivables have been transferred to the factor.
For arrangements without recourse, where substantially all risks and rewards have been transferred in exchange for cash, the trade receivables are derecognized. For arrangements with recourse, where substantially all risks and rewards have not been transferred, the trade receivables are not derecognized, and the cash received from the purchaser is accounted for as secured borrowing.
Cash flows from factoring without recourse of trade receivables are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows while cash flows from factoring with recourse are classified as cash flows from financing activities.
Fair value measurement
Valuation methodology for the fair value of the financial liability related to the Class C-2 Shares
The Class C-2 Shares represents a derivative financial instrument that is carried at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”) by reference to Level 2 measurement inputs because an observable price for the Class C-1 Shares, which are almost identical instruments, is available in the active market. Class C Shares are presented in current liabilities within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as they can be exercised by the holder at any time. The related liability is measured at fair value, with any changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The fair value of the Class C-2 Shares is determined using a binomial lattice option pricing model in a risk-neutral framework whereby the future prices of the Class A Shares are calculated assuming a geometric Brownian motion (“GBM”). For each future price, the Class C-2 payoff amount is calculated based on the contractual terms of the Class C-2 Shares, including assumptions for optimal early exercise and redemption, and then discounted at the term-matched risk-free rate. The final fair value of the Class C-2 Shares is calculated as the probability-weighted present value over all modeled future payoff amounts. As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the Class C-2 Shares was determined to equal $630 by leveraging the closing price of the Class C-1 Shares on the Nasdaq of $0.79 per share, an implied volatility of 225%, a risk-free rate of 4.47%, a dividend yield of 0%, and a 1,000 time-steps for the binomial lattice option pricing model. Refer to Note 11 - Reverse recapitalization for more detail on the Class C-2 Shares.
Valuation methodology for the fair value of the financial liability related to the Former Parent’s contingent earn-out rights
F-10

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)
The Former Parent’s contingent earn out right represents a derivative financial instrument that is carried at FVTPL by reference to Level 3 measurement inputs because a quoted or observable price for the instrument or an identical instrument is not available in active markets. The earn-out liability is presented in non-current liabilities within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position to align with the expected timing of the underlying earn-out payments. The fair value of the earn out is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation that incorporates a remaining term of 3.48 years, the five earn-out tranches, and the probability of the Class A Shares in the Parent reaching certain daily volume weighted average prices during the earn-out period resulting in the issuance of each tranche of Class A Shares and Class B Shares in the Parent to the Former Parent. As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the earn-out was determined to equal $15,764 by leveraging an implied volatility of 80% and a risk-free rate of 4.43%. The implied volatility represents the most significant unobservable input utilized in this Level 3 valuation technique. The calculated fair value would increase (decrease) if the implied volatility were higher (lower). Refer to Note 11 - Reverse recapitalization for more detail on the Former Parent’s earn-out rights.

Note 5 - Investment in associates
In January 2024, Polestar's investee in China, Polestar Technology (Shaoxing) Co., Ltd. ("Polestar Technology"), selected Nanjing as its final province of registration. The investee was renamed Polestar Times Technology (Nanjing) Co., Ltd ("Polestar Times Technology"). On February 29, 2024, Polestar Times Technology, Polestar, Xingji Meizu, and Nanjing Jiangning Economic and Technological Development Zone Industrial Equity Investment Partnership (the "Nanjing Investor") entered an agreement for Polestar Times Technology to receive an additional $60,360 in capital from the Nanjing Investor over four installments in exchange for equity; subject to Polestar Times Technology achieving certain increased paid-in capital and invoiced sales thresholds in Nanjing province. Additionally, Polestar Times Technology can receive an additional $148,298 in the form of capital reserves from the Nanjing Investor over the four installments. In the event Polestar Times Technology achieves these thresholds and secures the investment installments from the Nanjing Investor, Polestar's ownership in Polestar Times Technology will decrease from 49% to 37.6% over time. As of the date these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were authorized for issuance, Polestar has injected total cash of $34,300 into Polestar Times Technology and maintains 46.2% ownership.
In the event of the dissolution of Polestar Times Technology and if Polestar Times Technology's assets are insufficient to meet its debt obligations, shareholders who have not fully made their required capital contributions and other shareholders existing at the time of establishment of the company, may be held jointly responsible for the remaining debts, limited to the value of their unpaid contributions.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the probability of collecting consideration in exchange for vehicles sold to Polestar Times Technology remained remote due to Polestar Times Technology's lack of available liquidity. While Polestar did collect consideration from Polestar Times Technology during the six months ended June 30, 2024 for certain vehicles sold during the year ended December 31, 2023 and the six months ended June 30, 2024, the circumstances regarding Polestar Times Technology's liquidity have not been improved. As such, the Group's accounting for sales of vehicles to Polestar Times Technology remained unchanged from the year ended December 31, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Group collected consideration and recognized revenue related to sales of vehicles for $61,650 of which $31,298 pertained to vehicles delivered during the year ended December 31, 2023 and $30,352 pertained to vehicles delivered during the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Group remains unpaid for 542 vehicles delivered to Polestar Times Technology during the six months ended June 30, 2024; totaling $19,850 of unrecognized revenue.

In the event the debt is called upon immediately,

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)
the entirety of the debt will become current. Discussions have been initiated with certain of the lending banks to seek a waiver of those covenant requirements in a timely fashion.
Floorplan facilities
In the ordinary course of business, Polestar, on a market-by-market basis, enters into multiple low-value credit facilities with various financial service providers to fund operations related to vehicle sales. These facilities provide access to credit with the option to renew as mutually determined by Polestar Group and the financial service provider. The facilities are partially secured by the underlying assets on a market-by-market basis. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate amount outstanding under these arrangements was $133,785 and $122,786, respectively.
The Group maintains one such facility with the related party Volvo Cars that is presented separately in Interest-bearing current liabilities - related parties within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Of the amounts above, the aggregate amount outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 due to related parties amounted to $49,340 and 35,747, respectively. Refer to Note 15 - Related party transactions for further details.
Sale-leaseback facilities
Polestar has also entered into contracts to sell vehicles and then lease such vehicles back for a period of up to twelve months. At the end of the leaseback period, Polestar is obligated to re-purchase the vehicles. Accordingly, the consideration received for these transactions was recorded as a financing transaction. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate amount outstanding under these arrangements were $13,984 and $12,788, respectively.
Since the contracts identified above are short term with a duration of twelve months or less, the carrying amount of the contracts is deemed to be a reasonable approximation of their fair value. The Group’s risk management policies related to debt instruments are further detailed in Note 3 - Financial risk management of the Consolidated Financial Statements, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for the three years ended December 31, 2023 that were included in the Form 20-F filed with the SEC on August 14, 2024. There are no changes in terms of risk management policies for the periods presented in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 15 - Related party transactions
For a detailed description of the Group’s related parties and related party transactions, refer to Note 27 - Related party transactions of the Consolidated Financial Statements, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for the three years ended December 31, 2023, that were included in the Form 20-F filed with the SEC on August 14, 2024. There are no changes to the Group’s related parties for the periods presented in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Related party activity during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and balances as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are presented below.
Financing
Working capital loans
In May 2021, the Group entered into a working capital credit facility with Volvo Cars and subsequently made draw downs on the facility, which has a maturity of one year. As of June 30, 2024, $49,340 of this financing arrangement remained outstanding, which is included in Interest-bearing current liabilities - related parties on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Refer to Note 14 - Liabilities to credit institutions for further details.
Convertible instruments
On November 3, 2022 the Group entered into a credit facility agreement with Volvo Cars providing available credit of up to $800,000; originally terminating on May 3, 2024. The credit facility can be drawn upon once a month and is utilizable for general corporate purposes. Interest is calculated at the floating six-month SOFR rate plus 4.9% per annum. Prior to June 30, 2027, if the Group announces an offering of shares with a proposed capital raise of at least $350,000 and no fewer than five institutional investors participate in the offering, Volvo Cars has the right to convert the principal amount of any outstanding loans into the same class of shares and at the same price per share as received by the participating institutional investors. Under IAS 32 and IFRS 9, Volvo Cars' conversion right meets the definition of an embedded derivative financial liability that is required to be bifurcated from the host debt instrument and accounted for separately because it could result in the issuance of a variable number of Class A Shares in the Parent at a price that was not fixed at the inception of the agreement. Additionally, the economics of Volvo Cars' conversion right are not clearly and closely related to that of the host debt instrument because the principal value of Volvo Cars' conversion right depends on (1) whether or not the Group conducts a qualified equity offering to investors at a market discount and (2) the time-value of money associated with settlement of the liability earlier than June 30, 2027. As such, the financial liability related to Volvo Cars' conversion right is carried at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Loss and Comprehensive Loss at each reporting date. On November 8, 2023, the credit facility agreement was amended to increase the overall credit capacity to $1,000,000 and extend the termination date to June 30, 2027. As a result of the amended terms, Polestar recalculated the carrying amount of the liability as the present value of the modified contractual cash flows and recognized a modification loss of $6,829 within Finance expense for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, the Group had principal draw downs of $1,000,000 outstanding under the facility, and the fair value of the financial liability related to Volvo Cars' conversion right was $0.
On November 8, 2023, the Group entered into a credit facility agreement with Geely providing available credit of up to $250,000; terminating on June 30, 2027. Other than the amount of credit available, the credit facility agreement with Geely maintains terms that are identical to the amended credit facility agreement with Volvo Cars. As of June 30, 2024 the Group had principal draws of $250,000 outstanding under the facility and the fair value of the financial liability related to Geely's conversion right was $0.

The following events which occurred subsequent to June 30, 2024 merited disclosure in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On August 2, 2024, Polestar entered into an 11-month working capital loan for $196,000 with China CITIC Bank Hangzhou Branch. This loan carries an interest rate of 7.8% per annum due quarterly. This loan benefits from letters of comfort from Geely.
On August 20, 2024, Polestar entered into a 12-month revolving credit facility with Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited ("SCB") for an aggregate principal amount of up to $300,000.

Note 18 - Restatement of prior period financial statements
In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, management identified various misstatements in our previously issued 2021 and 2022 annual financial statements and 2023 interim financial statements. Management has assessed the materiality of the misstatements on these previously issued financial statements in accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") Topic 1.M, Materiality. Based on this, management concluded that prior year financial statements should be corrected, even though such revision previously was and continues to be immaterial to the prior
F-25

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)
year financial statements. In these Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Loss and Comprehensive Loss and the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023, have been restated to align to the revisions during 2023 to correct for the carryforward impacts of the misstatements in our previously issued 2021 and 2022 annual financial statements. The errors relate to the following categories of misstatements:
(i) Inventories
The errors identified in the Inventories category encompass errors relating to incorrect valuation, classification, recognition, and allocation of costs associated with inventory. The most significant errors in this category include the incorrect treatment of certain launch costs, capitalization of inventory cost allocation, failed sale/lease transactions, and vehicles with repurchase obligations. The impact to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Loss and Comprehensive Loss of the inventory related error corrections was an increase in the loss by $23,662.
(ii) Accruals and Deferrals
The errors identified in the Accruals and Deferrals category encompass errors relating to the recognition and measurement of accruals and deferrals. These errors include both the understatement and overstatement of accruals and deferrals before the issuance of the financial statements, despite the availability of accurate information. The most significant transactions in this category include incorrect warranty accrual release, over accrual of operating expenses in North America and timing of revenue recognition and deferred revenue related to vehicle subscription services. The impact to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Loss and Comprehensive Loss of the accrual and deferral related error corrections was an increase in the loss by $10,711.
(iii) Capitalization of expenses
The errors identified in the Capitalization of Expenses category encompass errors relating to expenses that were erroneously capitalized as an asset and vice-versa. The most significant transactions in this category include incorrect recognition of certain assets in China, and the incorrect capitalization of manufacturing engineering expenses as an intangible asset related to services provided to certain contract manufacturing facilities. The impact to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Loss and Comprehensive Loss of the capitalization related error corrections was a reduction of the loss of $10,376.
(iv) Other - Reclassifications
The errors identified in the Other - Reclassifications category encompass errors arising from misallocations of assets and liabilities between different financial statement captions and misallocations of assets and liabilities between current and non-current. The most significant adjustments in this category include non-current reclassification misstatements related to certain buyback liabilities, an error in lease asset and liability in the United Kingdom, a reclassification of internally developed IP to software, and a reclassification of goods received not invoiced from trade payables to other current liabilities. There is a marginal impact to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Loss and Comprehensive Loss due to reclassifications relating to lease expense reversals upon the reclassification of a lease liability to a financing obligation in Korea.
(v) Deferred Taxes and Income Taxes
The errors identified in the Deferred Taxes and Income Taxes category encompass errors relating to the recognition, measurement, and reporting of the Group’s deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities, and income tax expenses. These errors include improper estimation of deferred tax amounts, errors in tax calculations, and errors pertaining to the treatment of value added tax. The most significant transactions in this category include incorrect recognition of deferred tax assets and deferred liabilities at the Sweden tax rate, instead of the local market rate, and incorrect recording of deferred taxes and income tax expense in North America resulting from the other misstatement categories explained. The tax impact of all misstatement corrections has also been recognized. The impact to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Loss and Comprehensive Loss of the tax related error corrections and the tax effect of the other error corrections was an increase in the loss of $4,330.
The tables below present the effect of the correction of the misstatements and the revision on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Loss and Comprehensive Loss and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
