Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in 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”). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report may be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions.

The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are only predictions. The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that the Company believes may affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the Company’s history of losses and expectation to incur significant expenses and continuing losses for the foreseeable future; the Company’ ability to execute its business model, including market acceptance of its planned electric vehicles; risks related to the Company’s limited operating history, the rollout of its business and the timing of expected business milestones, including the Company’s ability to develop and sell electric vehicles of sufficient quality and appeal to customers on schedule and on a large scale; the Company’s financial and business performance, including financial projections and business metrics and any underlying assumptions thereunder; changes in the Company’s strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects and plans; the Company’s ability to attract and retain a large number of customers; the Company’s future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash; the Company’s ability to obtain funding for its operations and manage costs; risks related to challenges the Company faces as a pioneer into the highly-competitive and rapidly-evolving electric vehicle industry; risks related to Harley Davidson, Inc.

Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report, as well as in Item “1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date of the filing of this report May 6, 2024, and the Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and while the Company believes such information forms a

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

LiveWire Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to in these consolidated financial statements and notes as “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” or “LiveWire.” The Company designs and sells electric motorcycles and electric balance bikes for kids with related electric motorcycle parts, accessories, and apparel. The Company operates in two segments: Electric Motorcycles and STACYC.

On September 26, 2022, the Company consummated a previously announced business combination and related financing transactions (collectively the “Business Combination”) pursuant to a business combination agreement, dated as of December 12, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among AEA-Bridges Impact Corp (“ABIC”), LiveWire Group Inc., (formerly known as LW EV Holdings, Inc.), LW EV Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Harley-Davidson, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“H-D”), and LiveWire EV, LLC (“Legacy LiveWire”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of H-D. The Business combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, ABIC was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. The net assets of ABIC were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The Business Combination resulted in net proceeds of approximately $293.7 million. The Company also assumed the Public Warrants and Private Warrants upon consummation of the Business Combination. See further detail in Note 7, Warrant Liabilities.

In connection with the Business Combination, H-D has the right to receive up to an additional 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the future (the “Earn-Out Shares”) upon the occurrence of certain triggering events: (i) a one-time issuance of 6,250,000 Earn Out Shares if the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Common Stock is greater than or equal to $14.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 consecutive trading day period; and (ii) a one-time issuance of 6,250,000 Earn Out Shares if the VWAP of Common Stock is greater than or equal to $18.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 consecutive trading-day period, in each case, during a period beginning 18 months from September 26, 2022, the closing date of the Business Combination, and expiring five years thereafter.

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All intercompany transactions within the Company have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

2. New Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07). ASU 2023-07 is intended to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The main provisions of ASU 2023-07 require a public entity to disclose on an annual and interim basis: (i) significant segment expenses provided to the chief operating decision maker, (ii) an amount representing the difference between segment revenue less segment expenses disclosed under the significant segment expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss and a description of its composition, (iii) provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets currently required under Topic 280 in interim periods, (iv) clarify that if the chief operating decision maker uses more than one measure of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit, (v) the title and position of the chief operating decision maker and an explanation of how the chief operating decision maker uses the reported measure of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, and (vi) all disclosures required by ASU 2023-07 and all existing segment disclosures under Topic 280 for an entity with a single reportable segment. The new guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact ASU 2023-07 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The main provisions of ASU 2023-09 require a public entity to disclose on an annual basis (i) specific prescribed categories in the rate reconciliation, (ii) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, (iii) the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, (iv) the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid, (v) income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and (vi) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. ASU 2023-09 also removes certain disclosure requirements related to unrecognized tax benefits and cumulative unrecognized temporary differences. The new guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact ASU 2023-09 will have on the Company's consolidated financial

statement disclosures.

3. Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or service to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred. Taxes that are collected from a customer concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

Disaggregated revenue, net by major source was as follows (in thousands):


	Three months ended
	March 31, 2024		March 31, 2023
Electric Motorcycles
Electric motorcycles	$	1,007	$	1,411
Parts, accessories and apparel	237		71
	$	1,244	$	1,482
STACYC
Electric balance bikes	$	2,616	$	5,508
Parts, accessories and apparel	1,118		772
	$	3,734	$	6,280
Total Revenue, net	$	4,978	$	7,762

Revenue from the sale of LiveWire One electric motorcycles, electric balance bikes as well as parts and accessories and apparel are recorded when control is transferred to the customer, generally at the time of shipment to independent dealers and distributors or at the time of delivery to retail customers. S2 electric motorcycles, being motorcycles produced from LiveWire’s S2 platform using the Arrow Architecture model, contain two performance obligations, which is the sale of the electric motorcycle and a stand ready obligation to transfer Firmware Over The Air (“FOTA”) software updates to the electric motorcycle, when-and-if available, to the customer. Revenue on the sale of the S2 electric motorcycles is recorded at a point-in-time when control is transferred to the customer. As the unspecified FOTA software updates to S2 electric motorcycles are provided when-and-if they become available, revenue related to these updates is recognized ratably over the period the updates will be provided, estimated by management to be five years, commencing when control of the electric motorcycle is transferred to the customer. The standalone selling prices of performance obligations are estimated by considering costs to develop and deliver the good or service, third-party pricing of similar goods or services and other information that may be available. The Company allocates the transaction price among the performance obligations in proportion to the standalone selling price of the Company’s performance obligations.

The Company offers sales incentive programs to independent dealers and retail customers designed to promote the sale of its products. The Company estimates its variable consideration related to its sales incentive programs using the expected value method. The Company accounts for consideration payable to a customer as part of its sales incentives as a reduction of revenue, which is accrued at the later of the date the related sale is recorded or the date the incentive program is both approved and communicated. Variable consideration related to sales incentives and rights to return is adjusted at the earliest of when the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive changes, or the consideration becomes fixed. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company revised its retail partner strategy and introduced new incentives with its retail partners resulting in $419 thousand of adjustments for variable consideration related to previously recognized sales. Adjustments for variable consideration for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were not material.

The Company offers the right to return eligible parts and accessories and apparel and, in limited circumstances, on electric motorcycles. The Company estimates returns based on an analysis of historical trends and probability of returns and records revenue on the initial sale only in the amount that it expects to be entitled. The remaining consideration is deferred in a refund liability account. The refund liability is remeasured for changes in the estimate at each reporting date with a corresponding adjustment to revenue. The Company records a refund asset at the carrying amount of the goods at the time of sale, less any expected costs to recover the goods and any expected reduction in value as a reduction to cost of goods sold. This amount is monitored and adjusted for impairment as necessary. The Company had a refund asset of $264 thousand and $299 thousand at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company had a refund liability of $292 thousand and $327 thousand at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Shipping and handling costs associated with freight after control of a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs in Cost of goods sold. The Company accrues for the shipping and handling in the same period that the related revenue is recognized.

The Company offers standard, limited warranties on its electric motorcycles, electric balance bikes, and parts and accessories. These warranties provide assurance that the product will function as expected and are not separate performance obligations. The Company accounts for estimated warranty costs as a liability when control of the product transfers to the customer.

Contract Liabilities

The Company maintains certain contract liability balances related to payments received at contract inception in advance of the Company’s performance under the contract that generally relates to customer deposits for electric balance bikes and electric motorcycles and consideration received upon transfer of control of the S2 motorcycles for FOTA software updates. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue once the Company performs under the contract. The current portion of contract liabilities of $310 thousand and $214 thousand were included in Accrued liabilities and the long-term portion of contract liabilities of $281 thousand and $245 thousand were included in Other long-term liabilities in the Company's Consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company expects to recognize $310 thousand included in Accrued Liabilities as of March 31, 2024 over the next twelve months. The Company expects to recognize $281 thousand included in Other long-term liabilities at March 31, 2024 over the next five years.

Previously deferred revenue recognized as revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 was $70 thousand and $78 thousand, respectively.

4. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 0% for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The Company’s effective tax rate for each period differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% as the Company is not recognizing an income tax benefit related to the losses generated as there is not sufficient positive evidence regarding the ability to realize the benefit of these losses.

5. Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, plus the effect of potentially dilutive securities. The Company applies the treasury method to calculate the dilution impact of share-based awards- restricted stock, performance share units, and warrants. Because the Company has reported a net loss for all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share as all of the potentially dilutive shares were anti-dilutive in those periods.

Computation of basic and diluted earnings per share was as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Three months ended
	March 31, 2024		March 31, 2023
Net loss	$	(23,644)	$	(21,147)

Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	203,100		202,404
Effect of dilutive securities – warrants	—		—
Effect of dilutive securities – employee stock compensation awards	—		—
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	203,100		202,404
Earnings per share (1):
Basic	$	(0.12)	$	(0.10)
Diluted	$	(0.12)	$	(0.10)

(1) Earnings per share amounts are calculated discretely and, therefore, may not add up to the total due to rounding

Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, to the extent dilutive, including unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”), unvested performance share units (“PSUs”), and Warrants (as defined in Note 7, Warrant Liabilities). Potential shares of common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share if their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented or if the issuance of shares is contingent upon events that did not occur by the end of the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 3,118 thousand and 3,129 thousand employee stock compensation plan awards, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 30,365 thousand and 30,500 thousand warrants, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Additionally, the Company has not included the impact of the Earn-Out Shares, discussed in Note 1, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation, in the calculation of EPS as the triggering events have not occurred.

6. Additional Balance Sheet Information

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method for electric motorcycles and related products and average costing method for electric balance bikes. Inventories, net consisted of the following (in thousands):


	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Raw materials and work in process	$	—	$	486
Electric motorcycles and electric balance bikes	32,317		28,205
Parts and accessories and apparel	2,788		3,431
Inventories, net	$	35,105	$	32,122

Accrued liabilities primarily include accrued capital expenditures of $3,768 thousand, accrued payroll and employee benefits of $3,632 thousand, and accrued engineering costs of $3,319 thousand as of March 31, 2024. Accrued liabilities primarily include accrued capital expenditures of $4,933 thousand, accrued payroll and employee benefits of $7,077 thousand, and accrued engineering costs of $5,215 thousand as of December 31, 2023.

7. Warrant Liabilities

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Company assumed 30,499,990 Warrants to purchase the Company’s Common Stock, comprised of 19,999,990 public warrants, originally issued by ABIC as part of ABIC’s IPO of units (the “Public Warrants”) and 10,500,000 of outstanding warrants originally issued in a private placement in connection with the IPO of ABIC (the “Private Placement Warrants”, collectively with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Warrants expire five years from the completion of the Business Combination. There were 19,865,207 Public Warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and 10,500,000 Private Warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Each Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A Warrant holder may exercise its Warrants only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. This means only a whole Warrant may be exercised at a given time by a Warrant holder. No fractional Warrants were issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants trade. The Company will receive the proceeds from the exercise of any warrants in cash. The Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Public Warrants

Redemption of Warrants when the price per Common Stock share equals or exceeds $18.00: The Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants (except as described with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

•in whole and not in part;

•at a price of $0.01 per Warrant;

•upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

•if, and only if, the reported last sales price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders.

Redemption of Warrants when the price per Common Stock share equals or exceeds $10.00: Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants:

•in whole and not in part;

•at $0.10 per Warrant upon a minimum 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to the agreed table, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of Common Stock;

•if, and only if, the closing price of the shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Warrant) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before we send the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders; and

•if the closing price of the shares of Common Stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Warrant), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Warrants, as described above.

Private Placement Warrants

The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are similar to those of the Public Warrants, including as to the exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The Private Placement Warrants will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are (i) held by the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants or its permitted transferees and (ii) the reference value exceeds $18.00 per share. The initial Private Placement Warrant purchasers, or its permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis if the reference value is between $10.00 and $18.00. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than AEA-Bridges Impact Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no redemptions or exercises of the Public Warrants or Private Warrants.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized income of $4,758 thousand and $1,068 thousand, respectively, as a change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the Consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company determined the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity and the fair value of the warrants should be classified as a liability. The Company’s Warrant liability was $7,561 thousand and $12,319 thousand as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

8. Fair Value

The Company assesses the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy.

•Level 1 inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable.

•Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs.

•Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include the Company’s judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall, were as follows (in thousands):


	March 31, 2024
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Money market funds	$	135,000	$	—	$	—	$	135,000
Liabilities:
Public Warrants	$	4,946	$	—	$	—	$	4,946
Private Placement Warrants	—		2,615		—		2,615
Share-based awards settled in cash	666		—		—		666
	$	5,612	$	2,615	$	—	$	8,227

	December 31, 2023
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Money market funds	$	161,000	$	—	$	—	$	161,000
Liabilities:
Public Warrants	$	8,059	$	—	$	—	$	8,059
Private Placement Warrants	—		4,260		—		4,260
Share-based awards settled in cash	1,268		—		—		1,268
	$	9,327	$	4,260	$	—	$	13,587

There were no significant assets or liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Money Market Funds

Money market funds include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three or fewer months and are presented within Cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated balance sheets. They are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and are classified under Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

Warrant Liabilities

The Public Warrants are publicly traded under the symbol “LVWR WS” and the fair value of the Public Warrants at a specific date is determined by the closing price of the Public Warrants as of that date. As such, the Public Warrants are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was determined using the closing price of the Public Warrants as the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are economically similar to those of the Public Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of an observable market quote for a similar asset in an active market.

Share-based awards settled in cash

Share-based awards settled in cash represent grants of share-based awards that will be settled with employees in cash and are presented within Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated balance sheets. They are valued using the market price of the Company’s and Harley-Davidson, Inc.’s stock and are remeasured at each balance sheet date and are classified under Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy.

Other Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of financial instruments classified as Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, net, and Accounts payable on the Consolidated balance sheets approximate carrying value due to the short-term nature and the relative liquidity of the instruments.

9. Product Warranty and Recall Campaigns

The Company provides a limited warranty on new electric motorcycles for a period of two years, except for the battery which is covered for five years. The Company also provides limited warranties on parts and accessories and electric balance bikes. The warranty coverage for the retail customer generally begins when the product is sold to the retail customer. The Company accrues for future warranty claims at the time of sale by the Company using an estimated cost based primarily on historical Company claim information. In the case of both warranty and recall costs, as actual experience becomes available it is used to update the accruals.

Additionally, the Company may from time-to-time initiate certain voluntary recall campaigns. The Company records estimated recall costs when the liability is both probable and estimable. This generally occurs when the Company’s management approves and commits to a recall. The warranty and recall liability are included in Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets.

Changes in the Company’s warranty and recall liability were as follows (in thousands):


	Three months ended
	March 31, 2024		March 31, 2023
Balance, beginning of period	$	1,011	$	566
Warranties issued during the period	122		69
Settlements made during the period	(265)		(32)

Recalls and changes to pre-existing warranty liabilities	14		(3)
Balance, end of period	$	882	$	600

The liability for recall campaigns included in the above table was $78 thousand and zero as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies – The Company is subject to claims related to product and other commercial matters. In determining costs to accrue related to these items, the Company carefully analyzes cases and considers the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as the potential range of possible loss. The Company accrues for matters when losses are both probable and estimable. Any amounts accrued for these matters are monitored on an ongoing basis and are updated based on new developments or new information as it becomes available for each matter. Refer to Note 9, Product Warranty and Recall Campaigns, for a discussion of warranty and recall liabilities. The Company had no product liability claims as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Litigation and Other Claims – The Company from time to time may be subject to lawsuits and other claims related to product, commercial, employee, environmental and other matters in the normal course of business. In determining costs to accrue related to these items, the Company carefully analyzes cases and considers the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as the potential range of possible loss. The Company accrues for matters when losses are both probable and estimable. Any amounts accrued for these matters are monitored on an ongoing basis and are updated based on new developments or new information as it becomes available for each matter. The Company, through H-D, also maintains insurance coverage for product liability exposures. The Company believes that its accruals and insurance coverage are adequate and there are no material exposures to loss in excess of amounts accrued and insured for losses related to these matters.

11. Related Party Transactions

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into a various number of agreements with H-D to govern and provide a framework for the relationship between the parties going forward pursuant to which the Company and/or H-D have continuing obligations to each other. All transactions with H-D subsequent to the Business Combination are considered related party transactions. Agreements that the Company entered into in connection with the separation from H-D that resulted in related party transactions include the Transition Services Agreement, Master Services Agreement, Contract Manufacturing Agreement, Joint Development Agreement, and Tax Matters Agreement. Refer to Note 16, Related Party Transactions, of the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K for additional details on the agreements entered into by the Company as part of the Separation.

This amount represents the Company’s best estimate of the liability as of each of the balance sheet dates and is subject to adjustment based on final negotiations with H-D regarding amounts owed under the terms of the Contract Manufacturing Agreement.

Convertible Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement

On February 14, 2024, the Company entered into a Convertible Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the “Convertible Term Loan”) with H-D providing for term loans from H-D to the Company in one or more advances up to an aggregate principal amount of $100 million. The outstanding principal under the Convertible Term Loan bears interest at a floating rate per annum, as calculated by H-D as of the date of each advance and as of each June 1 and December 1 thereafter, equal to the sum of (i) the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR (i.e., the secured overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate)) for a 6-month interest period, plus (ii) 4.00%. The Company may elect to pay up to 100% of the amount of any interest due by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the applicable advance. The Convertible Term Loan does not include affirmative covenants impacting the operations of the Company. The Convertible Term Loan includes negative covenants restricting the ability of the Company to incur indebtedness, create liens, sell assets, make investments, make fundamental changes, make dividends or other restricted payments and enter into affiliate transactions. The Convertible Term Loan has a maturity date of the earlier of (i) 24 months from the date of the first draw on the loan or (ii) October 31, 2026. In the event that the Convertible Term Loan cannot be settled in cash by the Company at maturity, unless otherwise agreed between the Company and H-D, the Convertible Term Loan will be converted to equity of Company at a conversion price per share of common stock of the Company equal to 90% of the volume weighted average price per share of Common Stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. As of March 31, 2024, there were no amounts outstanding under the Convertible Term Loan and the Company remained in compliance with all of the existing covenants.

Other transactions

Sales of electric motorcycles and related products to independent dealers and customers are primarily financed through Harley-Davidson Financial Services (“HDFS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of H-D; therefore, the Company’s accounts receivable related to these sales are recorded in Accounts receivable from related party on the Consolidated balance sheets. Amounts financed through HDFS, not yet remitted to the Company by HDFS, are generally settled within 30 days. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there is $1,051 thousand and $3,351 thousand due from HDFS and other related receivables due from H-D, which is presented as Accounts receivable from related party on the Consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $20 thousand and $5 thousand, respectively, in related party sales between the Company and H-D with $15 thousand and $3 thousand, respectively, in Cost of goods sold. All sales were for the STACYC segment which sells electric balance bikes to H-D. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was zero and $51 thousand due from H-D, which is presented as Accounts receivable from related party on the Consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

On September 26, 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement with H-D to sublease a Product Development Center. Additionally, on August 28, 2023, the Company amended a lease agreement with H-D for office space to extend the term of the lease to a 12-month period expiring on September 26, 2024. These are classified as operating leases. As of March 31, 2024, the right of use assets included within Lease assets, short-term lease liabilities included within Current portion of lease liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities included within Long-term portion of lease liabilities in the Consolidated balance sheets were $233 thousand, $158 thousand, and $74 thousand, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the right of use assets included within Lease assets, short-term lease liabilities included within Current portion of lease liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities included within Long-term portion of lease liabilities in the Consolidated balance sheets were $274 thousand, $162 thousand, and $112 thousand, respectively.

Under this plan, the Company expects to incur one-time relocation costs of $1.0 million to $1.5 million and one-time termination benefit costs of $2.0 million to $3.5 million related to the Electric Motorcycles segment and expects the vast majority to be cash charges. The Company expects to complete this plan by the end of September 2024.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand the Company, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and the Company’s present business environment. The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

LiveWire is an industry-leading all-electric vehicle brand with a mission to pioneer the rapidly growing two-wheel electric motorcycle space. The Company operates in two segments: Electric Motorcycles and STACYC.

The Electric Motorcycles segment sells electric motorcycles, related parts and accessories and apparel in the United States and certain international markets, while the STACYC segment sells electric balance bikes, related parts and accessories and apparel in the United States and certain international markets.

Electric motorcycles are sold at wholesale to a network of independent retail partners, at retail through a Company-owned dealership, through online sales and direct to customers through select international partners. Electric balance bikes are sold at wholesale to independent dealers and independent distributors, as well as direct to customers online. As discussed below, on September 26, 2022 as part of the Business Combination, the Company, which included LiveWire branded electric motorcycles and STACYC, became a separate, publicly traded company.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s net loss was $23,644 thousand compared to $21,147 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company’s net losses reflect the early-stage nature of the Company’s business. The increase in net losses of $2,497 thousand in 2024 reflect the segment results discussed below and a decrease of $676 thousand in interest income, offset by an increase of $3,690 thousand of non-operating income related to the decrease in fair value of the outstanding warrants as of March 31, 2024 as compared to prior year.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Electric Motorcycles segment operating loss was $29,007 thousand, compared to an operating loss of $24,769 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in operating loss of $4,238 thousand resulted from a decrease in revenue due to product mix and a revised structure around our retail partners in the first quarter of 2024, which introduced new incentives, and an increase in cost of sales resulting from increased net realizable value adjustments, volumes and depreciation expense. Refer to the Electric Motorcycles segment analysis below for further discussion.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the STACYC segment operating loss was $1,415 thousand, as compared to an operating loss of $138 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in operating loss of $1,277 thousand was primarily related to a decrease in volumes to our independent distributors. Refer to the STACYC segment analysis below for further discussion.

Business Combination

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, ABIC was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing stock for the net assets of ABIC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ABIC were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The Business Combination resulted in net proceeds of approximately $293.7 million. The Company also assumed the Public Warrants and Private Warrants upon consummation of the Business Combination. See further detail in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, Warrant Liabilities.

2024 Outlook

For 2024, LiveWire's focus continues to be on our investment into product development, product innovation, and future additional models on the S2 platform, as well as market expansion and continued cost improvements. LiveWire plans to continue to expand globally in 2024 with the focus on our priority markets in Europe.

Key Business Metrics

To analyze LiveWire’s business performance, determine financial forecasts and help develop long-term strategic plans, management reviews the following key business metrics, which are important measures that represent the growth of the business:

•Wholesale Motorcycle Unit Sales – LiveWire defines Wholesale Motorcycle Unit Sales as the number of electric motorcycles sold by LiveWire to independent dealers for which LiveWire recognized revenue during the period.

•Company Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales – LiveWire defines Company Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales as the number of new electric motorcycles sold at retail by LiveWire through its Company-owned dealership, through online sales or direct to customers through select international partners for which LiveWire recognized revenue during the period.

•Independent Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales – LiveWire defines Independent Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales as the number of new electric motorcycles sold at retail by Independent Retail Partners. These unit sales do not generate revenues for LiveWire but generate revenues for individual retail partners. The data source for electric motorcycle retail sales figures is new sales warranty and registration information provided by Independent Retail Partners and compiled by LiveWire. LiveWire must rely on information that its Independent Retail Partners supply concerning new retail sales, and LiveWire does not regularly verify the information that its independent retail partners supply. This information is subject to revision.

•Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales – LiveWire defines retail motorcycle unit sales as the sum of Company Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales and Independent Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales.

•Company-owned dealership – Dealership owned and operated by LiveWire to sell electric motorcycles, related products, and services.

The Electric Motorcycles independent retail partners shown above include those that have been contracted by LiveWire to sell LiveWire motorcycles. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, this total includes 3 and 4 partners, respectively, that were actively working to complete the licensing required to sell LiveWire motorcycles as of the end of the period. LiveWire intends to grow this network as it expands its distribution capabilities.

LiveWire believes these key business metrics provide useful information to help investors understand and evaluate LiveWire’s business performance. Wholesale Motorcycle Unit Sales and Company Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales are key drivers of revenue and operating results for the Electric Motorcycles segment. Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales made through both the Company-owned dealership and Independent Retail Partners are a key measure of consumer demand and market share for LiveWire’s electric motorcycles. Total Electric Balance Bike Unit Sales is a key driver of revenue and profit for STACYC.

Operating Income (Loss)

The Company reported an operating loss of $30,422 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to an operating loss of $24,907 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Electric Motorcycles segment reported an operating loss of $29,007 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to an operating loss of $24,769 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The STACYC segment reported operating loss of $1,415 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to operating loss of $138 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Refer to the Electric Motorcycles and STACYC Segment discussions for a more detailed analysis of the factors affecting operating results.

Interest Income (Expense)

Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $2,016 thousand, as compared to interest income of $2,692 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in the balance of money market funds at March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior year. The Company had investments of $135,000 thousand and $232,000 thousand in money market funds as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was income of $4,758 thousand, as compared to income of $1,068 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The income recognized was due to the decrease in the estimated fair value of the warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 due to fluctuations in the market price of the warrants. See Note 7, Warrant Liabilities, in the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Income Tax (Benefit) Provision

The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $4 thousand, as compared to income tax benefit of zero for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company believes there is not sufficient positive evidence for the tax benefit generated by the current period operating loss in the U.S. to be benefited in future periods.

Segment Results

Electric Motorcycles

The following table presents consolidated results of operations for the Electric Motorcycles segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):


	Three months ended
	March 31, 2024		March 31, 2023		$ Change		% Change

Operating loss	$	(29,007)	$	(24,769)	$	(4,238)	17.1	%

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $238 thousand, or 16.1%, to $1,244 thousand from $1,482 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Unit sales increased by 86% driven by more products in the market, including the new S2 Mulholland model launched in the first quarter of 2024. The Company has three bikes in market at March 31, 2024 as compared to one bike in market at March 31, 2023. The impact on revenue of the increased unit sales in the first quarter 2024 was offset by a reduction in revenue of $688 thousand resulting from product mix due to the S2 Del Mar and Mulholland having lower selling prices than LiveWire ONE and $498 thousand resulting from the impact of new incentives associated with a revised strategy with our retail partners implemented in the first quarter of 2024.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by $4,031 thousand, or 165.2%, to $6,471 thousand from $2,440 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased net realizable value adjustments of $1,703 thousand, increased depreciation expense of $784 thousand, and the impact of increased volumes in the first quarter 2024 as compared to the first quarter 2023.

Selling, Administrative and Engineering Expense

Selling, administrative and engineering expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 remained relatively flat compared to prior year, decreasing by $31 thousand, or 0.1%, to $23,780 thousand from $23,811 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

STACYC

The following table presents consolidated results of operations for the STACYC segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):


	Three months ended
	March 31, 2024		March 31, 2023		$ Change		% Change
Revenue:

Parts, accessories and apparel	1,118		772		346		44.8	%

Operating income	$	(1,415)	$	(138)	$	(1,277)	925.4	%

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $2,546 thousand, or 40.5%, to $3,734 thousand from $6,280 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in revenue of $2,546 thousand was driven by a $2,678 thousand reduction in electric balance bikes revenue due to lower shipment volumes primarily to our independent distributors and a $214 thousand reduction due to pricing in the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease was offset by a $346 thousand increase in parts, accessories and apparel revenue due primarily to increased battery and replacement part sales in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $1,424 thousand, or 35.1%, to $2,634 thousand from $4,058 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower volumes in alignment with the decreased revenue described above.

Selling, Administrative and Engineering Expense

Selling, administrative and engineering expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by $155 thousand, or 6.6%, to $2,515 thousand from $2,360 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased research and development costs relating to new product development of $156 thousand, increased personnel costs of $131 thousand, offset by decreased marketing expense of $132 thousand in the first quarter of 2024.

Other Matters

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to lawsuits and other claims related to product, commercial, employee, environmental and other matters. In determining costs to accrue related to these items, the Company carefully analyzes cases and considers the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as the potential range of possible loss. Any amounts accrued for these matters are monitored on an ongoing basis and are updated based on new developments or new information as it becomes available for each matter. Refer to Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, in the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the Company's commitments and contingencies

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, LiveWire’s cash and cash equivalents were $141,033 thousand and $167,904 thousand, respectively.

As an early growth company, LiveWire does not expect to generate positive cash flow from operations over the next twelve months. Prior to the Business Combination, H-D supported LiveWire’s operating, investing and financing activities. Following the Business Combination, LiveWire received net proceeds of approximately $293.7 million as more fully described below.

On September 26, 2022, LiveWire consummated the Business Combination with ABIC resulting in net proceeds of approximately $293.7 million. The Company also assumed the Public Warrants and Private Warrants upon consummation of the Business Combination. See further detail in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, Warrant Liabilities.

In the event of the exercise of any of Warrants for cash, LiveWire will receive the proceeds from such exercise. Assuming the exercise in full of all of Warrants for cash, LiveWire would receive an aggregate of approximately $349.2 million, but would not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise. To the extent any of the Warrants are exercised on a “cashless basis,” LiveWire will not receive any proceeds upon such exercise. LiveWire expects to use any proceeds it receives from Warrant exercises for general corporate and working capital purposes, which would increase its liquidity. LiveWire believes the likelihood that warrant holders will exercise their Warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds LiveWire would receive, is dependent upon the trading price of its Common Stock. As of March 31, 2024, the reported sales price of Common Stock was $7.23 per share. If the trading price of Common Stock is less than the $11.50 exercise price per share of the Warrants, LiveWire expects that warrant holders will not exercise their Warrants. There is no guarantee the Warrants will be in the money following the time they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, and as such, the Warrants may expire worthless and LiveWire may receive no proceeds from the exercise of Warrants. As a result, LiveWire does not expect to rely on the cash exercise of Warrants to fund its operations and LiveWire does not believe that it needs such proceeds to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. LiveWire will continue to evaluate the probability of Warrant exercises and the merit of including potential cash proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants in its future liquidity projections. LiveWire instead currently expects to rely on the sources of funding described below, if available on reasonable terms or at all.

Management believes that cash on hand, including the proceeds received from the Business Combination, and the Convertible Term Loan will provide sufficient liquidity to meet LiveWire’s projected obligations, including those related to existing contractual obligations, for at least the next twelve months.

The Company plans to use its current cash on hand, including the financing raised through the Business Combination, and available funds under the Convertible Term Loan to support its core business operations and strategic plan, invest in new product development, and enhance its global distribution capabilities. LiveWire expects its capital expenditures and working capital requirements to increase in the future, as it grows the business, develops its customer support and marketing infrastructure and expands its product development efforts.

The Company’s material contractual operating cash commitments at March 31, 2024 relate to leases and inventory purchase commitments. In addition, as a result of the Business Combination completed on September 26, 2022, LiveWire will be subject to certain payments in the event minimum purchase commitments under the Contract Manufacturing Agreement with H-D are not met beginning in the year 2025.

Cash Flow Activity

The following table presents condensed highlights from the Company’s Consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):


	Three months ended
	March 31, 2024		March 31, 2023
Net cash used by operating activities	$	(22,926)	$	(24,550)
Net cash used by investing activities	(3,239)		(4,648)
Net cash used by financing activities	(706)		—
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(26,871)	$	(29,198)

The overall decrease in cash during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was due primarily to cash used for operating activities, as described below.

Operating Activities

The Company had negative cash flow from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Net cash used by operating activities decreased by $1,624 thousand to $22,926 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $24,550 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in negative cash flow from operating activities was primarily driven by favorable changes in Accounts receivable, net, Account receivable from related party, and Accounts payable to related party offset by unfavorable changes in other working capital amounts, including Inventories, Other current assets, and Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and the increase in net loss of $2,497 thousand.

Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities decreased by $1,409 thousand to $3,239 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $4,648 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was due to higher capital expenditures in 2023 related to investments to support future product development activities.

The Company expects to fund future cash flows used in investing activities with the financing raised through the Business Combination and available funds under the Convertible Term Loan. The Company estimates capital expenditures to be between $10 million and $20 million in 2024.

Financing Activities

Net cash used by financing activities decreased by $706 thousand to $706 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to zero for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The $706 thousand cash outflow related to the repurchase of common stock to satisfy withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $141,033 thousand. The Company manages its liquidity risk by effectively managing its working capital, capital expenditures and cash flows.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of accounts receivable. The Company limits its credit risk with respect to accounts receivable by performing credit evaluations and requiring collateral to secure amounts owed to the Company by its customers, each when deemed necessary.

Inflationary factors, such as cost increases for logistics, manufacturing, raw materials and purchased components, may adversely affect the Company’s operating results. Although the Company does not believe inflation has had a material impact on its financial condition given its lower production volumes, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to increase its gross margin or decrease its operating expenses as a percentage of its revenues if the selling prices of its products do not increase as much or more than its increase in costs.

The Company is also exposed to possible disruption of supply or shortage of materials, in particular for lithium-ion battery cells and key semiconductor chip components necessary for electric vehicles, and any inability to purchase raw materials and components could negatively impact the Company’s operations.

The Company sells electric balance bikes and its electric motorcycles and related products internationally, and in most markets, those sales are made in the foreign country’s local currency. As a result, the Company’s operating results are affected by fluctuations in the values of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, however, the impact of such fluctuations on the Company’s operations to date are not material given the majority of the Company’s sales are currently in the U.S. The Company plans to expand its business and operations internationally and expects its exposure to currency rate risk to increase as it grows its international presence.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of the disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Risk Factors” of the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
