Management Commentary

“Demand for vehicle electrification continues to grow. As we look at the sheer size of the opportunity, we are focusing on meeting this accelerating demand, starting with heavy-duty long-range vehicles that require the most durable and effective EV solutions,” commented Lionel Selwood, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Romeo Power. He continued: “As we mark our fifth year as a company, we continue to leverage our advanced engineering expertise to push our technology and enhance relationships with key industry players, driven by a shared objective to continue innovating and pushing EV technology forward. We are proud to have earned the trust of industry leaders, including those who face some of the most formidable electrification challenges, such as cost-effective long-haul trucking, and we look forward to working with the key industry players to develop and commercialize safe, durable and cost-effective battery system solutions.

"The OEMs and fleet managers that are serious about electrification recognize that Romeo Power’s solutions can deliver superior uptime, profit-per-mile and return on investment, a winning combination for customers, suppliers and investors. This is evident in Romeo Power’s recent wins, including a long-term agreement with leading commercial vehicle maker PACCAR, the maker of light-, medium- and heavy-duty trucks under the Peterbilt, Kenworth and DAF nameplates. The level of trust placed in Romeo Power by PACCAR to help them achieve their ambitious electrification goals speaks volumes.

"During the first quarter, Romeo Power and Heritage Environmental Services selected the OEMs who will participate in the Heritage– Romeo Power Fleet Electrification Program. This includes PACCAR, Lion Electric and Nikola, leading manufacturers that will now be fitted with Romeo Power’s cutting-edge electrification solutions. These packs will be supplied under existing contracts and are subject to successful validation in the pilot phase of the program. Romeo Power has demonstrated its capability to help major fleet owners meet their electrification goals, and has made building these relationships a go-to-market priority.

"Romeo Power has prioritized collaboration with ecosystem participants and is proud to be accelerating industry progress via our unique testing capabilities so we can all meet the moment and deliver on the promise of EVs everywhere.”

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release may constitute “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this press release, the words “estimates,” “projected,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “will,” “should,�� “future,” “propose” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, express or implied statements concerning the Company’s expectations regarding its future financial performance, revenues and capital expenditures, the Company’s expectations with respect demand for its products, the magnitude and timing of future contracts, the availability and pricing of battery cells, the Company’s ability to secure long-term sourcing commitments, and the results of the Heritage-Romeo Power Fleet Electrification Program are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside Romeo Power’s management’s control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors, among others, that may affect actual results or outcomes include: Romeo Power’s ability to execute on its plans to develop and market new products and the timing of these development programs; Romeo Power’s estimates of the size of the markets for its products; the rate and degree of market acceptance of Romeo Power’s products; the success of other competing technologies that may become available; Romeo Power’s ability to identify and integrate acquisitions; the performance of Romeo Power’s products and customers; potential litigation involving Romeo Power; demand for battery cells and supply shortages; the potential effects of COVID-19; and general economic and market conditions impacting demand for Romeo Power’s products. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in Romeo Power’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and in subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K and other filings made with the SEC by the Company. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those implied by our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Romeo Power undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. “EBITDA” is defined as earnings before interest income and expense, income tax expense or benefit, and depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” has been calculated using EBITDA adjusted for, stock-based compensation, and the change in fair value of Public and Private Placement Warrants. The Company believes that both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide additional information for investors to use in (1) evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends and (2) comparing our financial performance with those of comparable companies, which may disclose similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP measures provide investors with incremental information for the evaluation of our performance after isolation of certain items deemed unrelated to our core business operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented as supplemental measures to our GAAP measures of performance. When evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Furthermore, our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures computed by other companies, as the nature of the adjustments that other companies may include or exclude when calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the adjustments reflected in our measure. Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor should these measures be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net income (loss). As appropriate, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and information reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP are included in this press release.
