NEW YORK, April 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lotus Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: LOT) (“Lotus Tech” or the “Company”), a leading global intelligent and luxury mobility provider, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2025.

Operating Highlights of the Full Year of 2025
In 2025, the Company recorded total deliveries¹ of 6,520 units, a transitional performance hampered by tariff headwinds, gradual inventory destocking and the phased rollout of upgraded models.

Deliveries were predominantly driven by the China and Europe markets. China delivery growth outperformed the PRC premium automotive segment², underscoring the competitiveness of the Company’s product portfolio amid an intensifying market landscape.

Service revenues surged 69% YoY in 2025 to $56 million, primarily driven by R&D service revenue. The commercialization of the Company’s intellectual property through technical licensing and other avenues demonstrated significant market recognition of its pioneering technologies.

Operating loss narrowed by 65% in the fourth quarter and 46% in the full year of 2025 on a YoY basis. The consecutive reductions in operating loss in the third and fourth quarters of 2025 were mainly driven by optimized product mix and stringent expense control, demonstrating the Company’s operational resilience amid intensified market competition.

The Company has unveiled its first PHEV model, named For Me (also known as Eletre X in Europe), and commenced deliveries in China in March 2026, with a global release to follow, aimed at meeting worldwide customer demand for diversified powertrains. For Me is built on Lotus 900V X-Hybrid architecture, enabling a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 3.3 seconds and a combined cruising range of over 1,400 kilometers. Its comprehensive handling dynamics system delivers a 100-0 km/h braking distance of 33.9 meters, offering safety and confidence in emergency situations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net loss and adjusted EBITDA in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted net loss represents net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses, and such adjustment has no impact on income tax. Lotus Tech defines adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding interest income, interest expense, income tax expenses, depreciation of property, equipment and software, and share-based compensation expenses. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects. The Company also believes that non-GAAP financial measures allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. For more information on non-GAAP financial measures, please see "Appendix D – Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results (Adjusted net loss/Adjusted EBITDA)" set forth at the end of this press release.
