Lucid Motors took in more money and delivered more cars last year than the previous year and reported an adjusted loss of $2.8 billion, including a worse-than-expected $874.7 million in the fourth quarter.
The Arizona-based EV maker revealed its Q4 and full year earnings Feb. 24, leading with the 68 percent increase in revenue to $1.35 billion for the entirety of 2025. For the final quarter of the year, the revenue numbers were even better, the company taking in $522.7 million, a 123 percent increase over the year-ago period. The company’s net loss was $3.7 billion for the full year and $1.2 billion for Q4.
The company also saw its deliveries rise over 50 percent compared to the previous year, and it marked eight consecutive quarters of record deliveries with 15,841 vehicles. However, the company revealed there was a snafu with its production count. In January, officials said the company produced 18,378 vehicles in 2025, including 8,412 during the fourth quarter.
But it was later determined that 538 of those vehicles hadn’t completed the validation process so the final numbers are 17,840 for the full year and 7,874 in the final quarter. The validation process will be completed this year. The final numbers, according to Lucid officials, are “in line” with its initial forecasts.
“2025 was all about execution and strategy adjustment to set Lucid up for long-term success. Against a challenging macro backdrop, we nearly doubled production, gained market share, reduced unit costs, and strengthened our financial position,” said Marc Winterhoff, Lucid’s interim CEO, in a release.
“We advanced and launched our autonomy strategy, leveraging our industry‑leading technology and strong partnerships to position Lucid as an early mover in the emerging robotaxi market and to deliver differentiated autonomy capabilities to our customers in a capital‑efficient way.
“In 2026, our focus remains on operational and financial discipline, sustainable growth, and continued progress toward profitability, while we look forward to the production of the first of our Midsize vehicles and the deployment of the first Lucid robotaxis into commercial service with our partners.”
The company declined to offer any predictions for 2026 results beyond production guidance of 25,000 to 27,000 vehicles. Lucid ended the year with $4.6 billion in total liquidity, which CFO Taoufiq Boussaid said was “strong, providing us with the flexibility to executive near-term objectives while investing in future growth.” The company projected capital expenditures will be between $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion this year.
