We may be affected by the interruptionInterruption or failure of ourAeva’s information technology and communicationcommunications systems andcould cybersecurityimpact risksour ability to effectively provide our operational systems, security systems, infrastructure,products and integrated software in our LiDAR solutions.services

Reworded

These initiativesinitiatives, including our strategic collaboration with LG Innotek Co., Ltd. (“LGIT”), may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue, if at all, in an amount sufficient to offset these higher expenses and to achieve and maintain profitability. The market opportunities we are pursuing are at an early stage of development, and it may be many years before the end markets we expect to serve generate demand for our products at scale, if at all. Our ability to generate revenue may be adversely affected for a number of reasons, including the development and/or market acceptance of new technology that competes with Aeva’s products, failure of our customers to develop and commercialize the programs that include Aeva’s products or technology, our inability to effectively manage inventory or manufacture products at scale, our inability to enter new markets or help our customers adapt Aeva’s products for new applications or our failure to attract new customers or expand orders from existing customers or increasing competition. Furthermore, it is difficult to predict the size and growth rate of our target markets, customer demand for Aeva’s products, commercialization timelines, developments in autonomous sensing and related technology, the entry of competitive products, or the success of existing competitive products and services. For these reasons, we do not expect to achieve profitability in the near term. If Aeva’s revenue does not grow over the long term, our ability to achieve and maintain profitability will be adversely affected, and the value of Aeva's business may significantly decrease.

Added

For example, in fourth quarter of 2025, we were selected by a European original equipment manufacturer (an “OEM”) as this OEM’s LiDAR supplier for its global series-production vehicle platform to enable Level 3 automated driving. There can be no assurance that we will enter into a definitive volume production agreement with the OEM or that we will receive the return on investment that we expect, if any.

Reworded

We have a global supply chain and the loss or disruption of such supply arrangements for any reason, including as a result of geopolitical conflicts, including tensions with China and Taiwan; ongoing conflict arising out of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the hostilities and conflict in the Middle East; other acts of war or terrorism; trade sanctions; tariffs; inflation; health epidemics or pandemics; labor disputes, work stoppages or interruptions; loss or impairment of key manufacturing sites, including due to a supplier's financial distress, natural disasters, looting or other external factors; inability to procure sufficient raw materials and/or quality control issues, may adversely affect our ability to source components in a timely or cost-effective manner from our third-party suppliers. For example, Aeva’s products depend on external semiconductor foundries. Any disruptions to those foundries could materially adversely affect our ability to manufacture Aeva's products. In addition, the lead times associated with certain components are lengthy and preclude rapid changes in quantities and delivery schedules. We have in the past experienced, and may in the future experience, component shortages and price fluctuations of certain key components and materials, and the predictability of the availability and pricing of these components may be limited. Component shortages or pricing fluctuations could be material in the future. In the event of a component shortage, supply interruption or material pricing change from suppliers of these components, we may not be able to develop alternate sources in a timely manner or at all in the case of sole or limited sources. Developing alternate sources of supply for these components may be time-consuming, difficult, and costly and we may not be able to source these components on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, which may undermine our ability to meet our requirements or to fill customer orders in a timely manner. Any interruption or delay in the supply of any of these parts or components, or the inability to obtain these parts or components from alternate sources at acceptable prices and within a reasonable amount of time, would adversely affect our ability to meet scheduled product deliveries to our customers. This could adversely affect our relationships with our customers and channel partners and could cause delays in shipment of our products and adversely affect Aeva’s operating results. In addition, increased component costs could result in lower gross margins. Even where we are able to pass increased component costs along to customers, there may be a lapse of time before we are able to do so such that we must absorb the increased cost. If we are unable to buy these components in quantities sufficient to meet our requirements on a timely basis, we will not be able to deliver products to customers, which may result in such customers using competitive products instead of Aeva’s.

Reworded

Cost-cutting initiatives adopted by our customers often result in increased downward pressure on pricing. We expect that our agreements with automotive OEMs including the OEM who selected us for the Supplier Award, may require step-downs in pricing over the term of the agreement or, if commercialized, over the period of production. In addition, our automotive OEM customers often reserve the right to terminate their supply contracts for convenience, which enhances their ability to obtain price reductions. Automotive OEMs also possess significant leverage over their suppliers, including Aeva, because the automotive component supply industry is highly competitive, serves a limited number of customers and has a high fixed cost base.

Reworded

Our future growth depends on developing Aeva’s products, on our own and with other third-party partners, penetrating new markets, adapting existing products to new applications and customer requirements, and introducing new products that achieve market acceptance. We plan to continue to incur substantial R&D costs as part of our efforts to design, develop, manufacture and commercialize new products, and enhance existing products, and as such these costs may increase in the future. Because we account for R&D as an operating expense, these expenditures will adversely affect Aeva’s results of operations in the future. Further, our R&D program may not produce successful results, and our new products may never achieve market acceptance, create additional revenue or become profitable.

Added

While Aeva’s 4D LiDAR technology can be applied to different use cases across end markets, a significant portion of our revenue is primarily generated from the development of automotive applications.

Reworded

While Aeva’s 4D LiDAR technology can be applied to different use cases across end markets, a significant portion of our revenue is primarily generated from the development of automotive applications. Despite the fact that the automotive industry has engaged in considerable effort to research and test LiDAR products, including our 4D LiDAR technology, for ADAS and AD applications, the automotive industry may not introduce LiDAR products in commercially available vehicles. We continually study emerging and competing sensing technologies and methodologies and may add new sensing technologies. However, LiDAR products remain relatively new and it is possible that other sensing modalities, or a new disruptive modality based on new or existing technology, including a combination of technologies, will achieve acceptance or leadership in the ADAS and AD industries. Even if LiDAR products are used in initial generations of AD technology and certain ADAS products, we cannot guarantee that LiDAR products will be designed into or included in subsequent generations of such commercialized technology. In addition, we expect that initial generations of autonomous vehicles will be focused on limited applications, such as robo-taxis, and that mass market adoption of autonomous technology may lag behind these initial applications significantly. The speed of market growth for ADAS or autonomous vehicles is difficult if not impossible to predict, and it is more difficult to predict this market’s future growth in light of recent economic downturns and instability. In addition, we expect competition among providers of sensing technology based on LiDAR and other modalities to increase substantially. If commercialization of LiDAR products is not successful, or not as successful as we or the market expects, or if other sensing modalities gain acceptance by market participants, regulators, safety organizations or other market participants, Aeva’s business, results of operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.

Reworded

We are investing in and pursuing market opportunities outside of the automotive markets, including industrial automation, consumer device applications, robotics and security markets. We believe that Aeva’s future revenue growth, if any, will depend in part on our ability to expand within new markets such as these and to enter new markets as they emerge. Each of these markets presents distinct risks and, in many cases, requires us to address the particular requirements of that market.

Reworded

We had $112$121.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2024,2025, and an available equity facility of up to $125 million. Although we expect our current cash balance, combined with our future cash flows and financing available to us through such facility, will address our capital needs through 2025,2026, we cannot assure you that this will be the case. Our operating environment is increasingly challenging, and our business and strategic plans may consume resources faster than we presently anticipate. In order to remain competitive, we must make substantial investments in research and development. Our products may require significant resources to develop both hardware and software solutions. Challenges of integrating new functionality into vehicles and the evolution of our customers’ performance requirements during development may also increase R&D costs. Customer demands for changes to our products to meet such performance requirements are difficult to predict both in terms of timing and cost. We may be unable to fund all of our research and development and capital investment needs or possible acquisitions or joint ventures, and we may have to pass on valuable long-term opportunities that arise if we do not have sufficient capital resources. We may be required to raise additional capital which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. See the risk factor titled “Future issuances of equity or debt securities, including from the issuance of preferred stock to Sylebra or upon Sylebra’s exercise of warrants for our common stock, or the conversion of our convertible notes, may adversely affect us, including the market price of the common stock and may be dilutive to existing stockholders.” An inability to fund our future R&D, capital expenditures and product development needs could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Reworded

Aeva, our outsourcing partners and suppliers may rely on complex machinery for the production, assembly and installation of Aeva’s products, which involves a significant degree of uncertainty and risk in terms of operational performance and costs. The facilities of our outsourcing partners and suppliers consist of large-scale machinery combining many components. These components may suffer unexpected malfunctions from time to time and will depend on repairs and spare parts to resume operations, which may not be available when needed. Unexpected malfunctions of these components may significantly affect the intended operational efficiency. In addition, Aeva and any of our other outsourcing partners and suppliers also rely on highly skilled labor for assembly and production. If such highly skilled labor is unavailable, Aeva’s business could be adversely affected. Operational performance and costs can be difficult to predict and are often influenced by factors outside of our control, including scarcity of natural resources, environmental hazards and remediation, costs associated with decommissioning of machines, labor disputes and strikes, difficulty or delays in obtaining governmental permits, damages or defects in electronic systems, industrial accidents, fire, seismic activity and other natural disasters. Should operational risks materialize, it may result in injury to or the death of workers, the loss of production equipment, damage to production facilities, monetary losses, delays and unanticipated fluctuations in production, environmental damage, administrative fines, increased insurance costs and potential legal liabilities, all which could have a material adverse effect on Aeva’s business, prospects, financial condition or operating results.

Reworded

When we secure design wins and Aeva’s products are included in our customers’ applications, including AD and ADAS products or consumer electronics, consumer health, industrial or security applications, we expect to enter into supply agreements with the relevant customer. For AD and ADAS products, market practice dictates that these supply agreements typically require us to supply a customer’s requirements for a particular vehicle model or AD or ADAS product, rather than supply a set number of products. These contracts can have short terms and/or can be subject to renegotiation, sometimes as frequently as annually, all of which may affect product pricing, and may be terminated by our customers at any time. Therefore, for AD and ADAS products, even if the systems into which Aeva’s products are built are commercialized, the discontinuation of, the loss of business with respect to, or a lack of commercial success of a particular vehicle model or technology package for which we are a significant supplier could mean that the expected sales of Aeva’s products will not materialize, which would materially and adversely affect our business. For example, there can be no assurance that any OEM products for which we are selected will be commercially successful. In addition, the loss of business with respect to a customer’s application in the consumer electronics, consumer health, security or industrial application for which we are a significant supplier could reduce our sales and adversely affect Aeva’s financial condition.

Reworded

Although we continue to pursue a broad customer base, we are currently dependent on a small number of customers with strong purchasing power. In fiscal year 2025, Aeva’s top three customers accounted for 64% of revenue. For fiscal year 2024, Aeva’s top two customers accounted for 72% of revenue. For fiscal year 2023, Aeva’s top two customers accounted for 45% of revenue. The loss of business from any of our major customers (whether by lower overall demand for our products, cancellation of existing contracts or product orders or the failure to design in Aeva’s products or award us new business) could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Reworded

There is also a risk that one or more of our major customers could be unable to pay our invoices as they become due or that a customer will simply refuse to make such payments if it experiences financial difficulties. As of December 31, 2025 three customers accounted for 72% and as of December 31, 2024 five customers accounted for 68% and as of December 31, 2023 one customer accounted for 42% of accounts receivable, respectively. If a major customer were to enter into bankruptcy proceedings or similar proceedings whereby contractual commitments are subject to stay of execution and the possibility of legal or other modification, we could be forced to record a substantial loss.

Reworded

Future issuances of equity or debt securities, including from the issuance of preferred stock to Sylebra orSylebra, upon Sylebra’s exercise of warrants for our common stock, or the conversion of our convertible notes, may adversely affect us, including the market price of our common stock and may be dilutive to existing stockholders.

Added

In November 2025, we sold $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) to certain funds affiliated with Apollo Global Securities, LLC (the “Apollo Funds”). Such funds are guaranteed by one of our wholly owned subsidiaries. The Notes are convertible at the option of their holders into shares of common stock, and we may pay interest on the Notes in cash, in shares of common stock, or in a combination of cash and shares of common stock. To the extent we pay interest using shares of common stock or holders of the Notes convert their Notes, our stockholders will be diluted, which may result in a decrease in the market value of our common stock.

Reworded

In addition, as of December 31, 2024,2025, we had warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5.5 million shares of our common stock outstanding. As of December 31, 2024,2025, the Companywe had 12.1 million public warrants and 0.4 million private warrants outstanding, exercisable for 2.5 million shares of common stock. Every five public and private warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $57.50 per share. TheThese Companywarrants expired on March 12, 2026, and trading of the public warrants was suspended upon expiration. We also had 3.0 million Series A Warrants exercisable for 3.0 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. To the extent remaining warrants are exercised, additional shares of common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the then-existing holders of common stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market or the fact that such warrants may be exercised could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Added

Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic partnerships with third parties.

Added

From time to time, we enter into strategic partnerships with third parties to enhance and extend our capabilities in the ordinary course of our business. Identifying partners, and negotiating and documenting relationships with them, requires significant time and resources.

Added

For example, in May 2025, we entered into a strategic collaboration with LGIT. As part of this collaboration, we entered into a joint development agreement with LGIT, with the goal of establishing a strategic partnership to bring Aeva’s 4D LiDAR into new industrial and consumer markets. In addition, we agreed to sell an aggregate of $32.5 million of shares of our common stock to LGIT, which closed in August 2025. We may never achieve or realize the anticipated financial and other benefits of the strategic partnership with LGIT. Additionally, the cash payments we receive from LGIT in connection with the non-recurring engineering services we perform under the strategic partnership cannot be recognized as revenue under GAAP.

Added

If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining strategic partnerships, or if our strategic partnerships fail to perform as expected, our ability to compete or to grow our revenue could be impaired, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Even if we are successful, we cannot assure you that these relationships will result in increased production of our products, development of new products, or increased revenue.

Reworded

We have been, and may be from time to time, involved in litigation, regulatory proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes that may be significant. These matters may include, without limitation, disputes with our suppliers and customers, intellectual property claims, stockholder litigation (including the Delaware Stockholder Litigation), government investigations, class action lawsuits, personal injury claims, environmental issues, customs and value-added tax disputes and employment and tax issues. In addition, we could face in the future a variety of labor and employment claims against us, which could include general discrimination, wage and hour, privacy, ERISA or disability claims. In such matters, government agencies or private parties may seek to recover very large, indeterminate amounts in penalties or monetary damages (including, in some cases, treble or punitive damages) or seek to limit our operations in some way. These types of lawsuits could require significant management time and attention or could involve substantial legal liability, adverse regulatory outcomes, and/or substantial expenses to defend. Often these cases raise complex factual and legal issues and create risks and uncertainties. No assurances can be given that any proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse impact on Aeva’s operating results and financial position or that our established reserves or available insurance will mitigate this impact. For example, in connection with the Delaware Stockholder Litigation settlement, we have agreed to paypaid a total settlement cost of $14.0 million in exchange for a release of all claims and expect to recoverreceived $2.5 million from our insurance carrier.

Removed

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ"). We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems and resources. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that Aeva maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our controls and procedures we have expended, and expect that we will continue to expend, significant resources, including accounting-related costs, and provide significant management oversight, as we continue to refine our controls and procedures. Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may be inadequate. Further, weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal controls have been identified in the past and may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls, or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement, could adversely affect our operating results or cause us to fail to meet reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements. Ineffective controls and procedures could also cause investors to lose confidence in Aeva’s reported financial and other information.

As a result of no longer qualifying as an “emerging growth company” and becoming a large accelerated filer, we would also be required to comply with, among other requirements, the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 for the year ending December 31, 2026 unless we qualify as a small reporting company.

Risks Related to Our Convertible Notes

Added

We have incurred substantial indebtedness that may decrease our business flexibility, access to capital, and/or increase our borrowing costs, which may adversely affect our operations and financial results.

Added

In November 2025, we issued $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes to the Apollo Funds. These Notes are guaranteed by a wholly owned subsidiary of ours. Our indebtedness may:

Added

limit our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general business purposes;

Added

limit our ability to use our cash flow or obtain additional financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general business purposes;

Added

require us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make debt service payments;

Added

limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business and industry;

Added

place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our less leveraged competitors; and increase our vulnerability to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions.

Added

Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15, and the Notes will mature on November 15, 2032, unless redeemed, repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. We can elect to make any interest payment in cash, in shares of common stock, or any combination thereof.

Added

Further, the indenture governing the Notes does not restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and we and our subsidiaries may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, subject to the restrictions contained in any future debt instruments existing at the time, some of which may be secured indebtedness.

Added

We currently intend to service the Notes by making interest payments in shares of our common stock. Nevertheless, we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our outstanding debt, and we may not have the funds or the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the Notes in cash or to repurchase the Notes upon a fundamental change, which could each adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Added

We currently intend to service the Notes by making interest payments in shares of our common stock. Nevertheless, our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest in cash on, or to refinance our indebtedness, including the amounts payable under the Notes, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive, and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not continue to generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our indebtedness and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to satisfy our obligations under the Notes by paying interest in shares of our common stock or adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt, or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations.

Added

Further, holders of the Notes have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” (as defined in the indenture governing the Notes) before the maturity date at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. However, we may not have enough available cash, or be able to obtain sufficient financing, at a time we are required to repurchase the Notes.

Added

In addition, upon conversion of the Notes, unless we elect to deliver solely shares of our common stock to settle such conversion (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the Notes being converted.

Added

The accounting method for convertible debt securities that may be settled in cash, such as the Notes, could have a material effect on our reported financial results.

Added

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2020-06, or ASU 2020-06 , with the intent to simplify ASC 470-20 and ASC subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, or ASC 815-40. Among the changes, ASU 2020-06 removed the requirement to bifurcate the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments (such as the Convertible Notes) that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion. In addition, ASU 2020-06 precludes the use of the treasury stock method, when calculating diluted earnings per share, for convertible debt instruments that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion.

Added

We currently apply the “if-converted” method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion options embedded in the Convertible Notes on diluted net income per share, which assumes that all of the Convertible Notes were converted solely into shares of common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, unless the result would be anti-dilutive. The application of the if-converted method may reduce our reported diluted net income per share to the extent we are profitable, and accounting standards may change in the future in a manner that may otherwise adversely affect our diluted net income per share.

Added

The conditional conversion feature of the Notes, when triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

Added

The Notes are convertible at the option of their holders at any time prior to the close of business on the “Scheduled Trading Day” (as defined in the indenture governing the notes) immediately preceding November 15, 2032. During periods for which the conditional conversion feature has been or is triggered, holders of the Convertible Notes are entitled to convert their Notes at any time during such periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their Notes, unless we choose to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would elect to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation in cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity.

Added

In addition, even if holders of Notes do not elect to convert their Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.

Reworded

Your percentage ownership in our common stock could be diluted in the future as a result of equity or convertible issuances for acquisitions, capital market transactions or otherwise, including any equity awards that we grant to our directors, officers and employees. Such awards could have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue, without the approval of our stockholders, one or more classes or series of preferred shares having such designation, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights as our board of directors generally may determine. Your ownership in our common stock could also be diluted by the exercise of securities convertible into our common stock, including our outstanding warrants and the convertible redeemable non-voting preferred stock that may be issued pursuant to the Facility Agreement. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred shares could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of our common stock. In addition, your interest may be diluted to the extent that we satisfy our obligations under the Notes by delivering shares of our common stock.

Added

Ownership of Aeva is concentrated in our management.

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our officers and directors, as well as entities they are affiliated with or control, beneficially own or control approximately 36.3% of our outstanding shares of common stock. This ownership does not reflect convertible securities underlying shares of common stock. The beneficially owned shares outstanding does not include certain shares owned by Mr. Rezk that were pledged as collateral for a loan and this pledge is now the subject of a dispute. Based on the information provided to Mr. Rezk, we and Mr. Rezk believe that the pledged shares may have been sold prior to June 2025. Neither we nor Mr. Rezk make any assertion as to the outcome of that dispute.

Added

This concentrated ownership and control by our management could adversely affect the status and perception of our common stock and/or warrants. In addition, any material sales of common stock by our management, or even the perception that such sales will occur, could cause a material decline in the trading price of our common stock and/or warrants. Due to this ownership concentration, our management has significant influence on all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, the approval of mergers or acquisitions, and other significant corporate transactions. Any person acquiring our common stock most likely will have no effective voice in the management of our company. This ownership concentration also could delay or prevent a change of control of the company, which could deprive our stockholders from receiving a premium for their common shares.

Reworded

Commercialization of LiDAR-based Applications. We expect that our results of operations, including revenue and gross margins, will fluctuate on a quarterly basis for the foreseeable future as our customers continue on research and development projects and begin to commercialize advanced driver assist, autonomous and industrial automation solutions that rely on LiDAR technology. The development cycles of our products with new customers varies widely depending on the application, market, customer and the complexity of the product, and can vary from several months to seven or more years depending on the industry. These development cycles result in us investing our resources prior to realizing any revenue from the commercialization or obtaining any firm commitments of pricing, volume or timing of purchases of our products by our customers. As customers reach the commercialization phase and as the market for LiDAR solutions matures, these fluctuations in our operating results may become less pronounced.

Removed

We expect that our operating expenses in fiscal 2025 will decrease as compared to fiscal 2024.

Added

Warrants and Share Subscriptions

Added

We account for warrants and other equity-linked contracts (i.e., share subscriptions) as equity or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instrument’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contract in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”).

Added

We first assess whether a freestanding equity-linked instrument should be classified as a liability pursuant to ASC 480 when the instrument is mandatorily redeemable, obligates the issuer to settle an instrument or the underlying shares by paying cash or other assets, or must or may require settlement by issuing variable number of shares and such settlement scenario is predominantly likely to occur.

Added

If an equity-linked instrument does not trigger liability classification under ASC 480, we assess whether the instrument meets all requirements for equity classification under ASC 815-40, including whether the instrument is indexed to our own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. If not, the instrument is classified as a liability and is further analyzed to determine whether the instrument represents a derivative in its entirety. This assessment requires the use of professional judgment and requires reassessment of an instrument’s classification at each reporting period while the instrument remains outstanding.

Added

Equity-linked instruments that meet all equity classification conditions are recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at issuance. Equity-linked instruments accounted for as liabilities are recognized and measured at fair value at inception and each reporting period the instrument remains outstanding. Any excess fair value over proceeds to be realized from the equity-linked instruments entered into at arm’s length, along with any changes in fair value, as determined at each reporting period, are recorded as a component of fair value loss on share subscription liability on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in fair value are reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows as a non-cash reconciling item between net loss and net cash flows from operating activities.

Added

Provision for Anticipated Losses on Contracts

Added

When estimated contract costs exceed expected consideration under contracts with a customer, we evaluate whether the nature of the contract is in the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-35, Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts (“ASC 605-35”). If ASC 605-35 applies, we recognize a provision for the entire anticipated losses on contracts as soon as the loss becomes evident. In determining the anticipated losses, we consider the principles in ASC 606-10-32-2 through 32-27 (except for the guidance in paragraphs 606-10-32-11 through 32-13 on constraining estimates of variable consideration) to determine the transaction price, adjusted to reflect the effects of the customer's credit risk. The costs used in arriving at the estimated loss on a contract shall include all costs of the type allocable to contracts under paragraphs 340-40-25-5 through 25-8.

Added

The Private Placement of shares with LGIT was closed on August 20, 2025. Accordingly, we issued 3,509,719 shares of common stock to LGIT at a price of $9.26 per share on receipt of gross proceeds of $32.5 million. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for details on the provision for anticipated losses recognized on the JDA contract.

Removed

Stock-Based Compensation

Removed

We recognize the cost of stock-based awards granted to our employees and directors based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. Cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. We elected to recognize the effect of forfeitures in the period they occur. The fair value of the RSUs is equal to the closing price of Aeva’s common stock on the grant date. We determined the fair value of each stock option grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which is impacted by the following assumptions:

Removed

Expected term is the length of time the grant is expected to be outstanding before it is exercised or terminated. This number is calculated as the midpoint between the vesting term and the original contractual term (contractual period to exercise). If the option contains graded vesting, then the vesting term would be based on the vesting pattern.

Removed

The volatility is based on a benchmark of comparable companies within the automotive and energy storage industries.

Removed

The dividend rate used is zero as we have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

Removed

The interest rates used are based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award.

Removed

We also grant performance based restricted stock units (the “PBRSUs”) to executives and our leadership team. PBRSUs have vesting conditions either based on pre-established performance goals of the Company or the performance of the Company’s total shareholder return. For the former, the fair value is determined based on the closing quoted price of Aeva’s common stock on the grant date and the fair value is recognized using the graded-vesting attribution method over the requisite service period. For the latter, we use a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value on the grant date and the fair value is recognized using the graded-vesting attribution method over the requisite service period.

Removed

Warrant Liabilities

Removed

We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to Aeva’s common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment requires the use of professional judgment, and is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

Removed

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a liability at fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter.

Removed

We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the liabilities classified warrants at each reporting period. The key assumptions in the option pricing model utilized include the following:

Removed

The expected volatility assumption is based on Aeva's historical equity volatility or a blend of guideline public companies equity volatility.

Removed

The expected term of the warrants is assumed to be the expected period until the expiry of the contractual term.

Removed

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for the applicable expected terms.

Removed

The dividend yield is based on the historical rate, which we anticipate to remain at zero.
