Second-quarter 2026 revenue was $836,000, up over 1,500% from $54,000 in Q2 2025 and up 64% from $512,000 in Q1 2026. First-half 2026 revenue was $1.35 million versus $370,000 a year earlier. Cost of revenue was $11.54 million in Q2 2026, down 57% from $26.91 million in Q2 2025; gross loss narrowed to $10.7 million from $26.9 million, and net loss narrowed 69% year over year to $38.96 million, with net loss attributable to stockholders of $36.03 million. For the first half, cost of revenue was $23.4 million and net loss was $81.3 million versus $135 million in the prior-year period. As of June 30, 2026, total liabilities were approximately $278 million and stockholders’ equity was $1.41 million positive. Management said it secured $70 million in cumulative new institutional commitments in Q2, completed $20 million in debt resolution, and expects to reduce total liabilities to under $100 million within the next 3 to 4 quarters. The company reaffirmed a full-year 2026 shipment target of 2,000 robots and said EAI Data Factory is expected to reach 2,100 monthly qualified data collection hours by the end of August, 20,000 by year-end, and 50,000 for the full year.

YT Jia framed the quarter as a transition from strategy into execution, saying the company validated its “Device to Data to Brain” flywheel and had completed a strategic upgrade to a Four-Core Full-Stack AI Ecosystem. He emphasized that the FCC’s new policy and the company’s Built in USA program create a market window for domestic robotics and described FF as positioning itself around U.S.-based data, supply chain, and compliance advantages. His tone was optimistic and defensive at the same time: optimistic about robotics opportunity, but focused on proving execution, reducing legacy burdens, and aligning capital with milestones.

No separate CFO spoke on the call; management’s financial commentary came from YT Jia. He cited Q2 revenue of $836,000, cost of revenue of $11.54 million, gross loss of $10.7 million, and net loss of $38.96 million, noting the losses narrowed materially year over year. He also pointed to $278 million of total liabilities at quarter-end, $1.41 million of positive stockholders’ equity, $42.5 million classified as restricted cash from recent financings, and $56.5 million of operating cash burn in the first half. On capital allocation, he said the company secured $70 million in new institutional commitments, canceled roughly 49.9 million warrants cumulatively since December 2025, set a $5 per share conversion floor for outstanding convertible notes where possible, and will use new capital primarily for robotics development rather than legacy liabilities.

The Q&A focused on three themes: the FCC policy, preserving first-mover advantage, and limiting dilution before positive operating cash flow. Management said the FCC’s covered-list change should raise compliance costs and risks for foreign competitors, while strengthening FF’s U.S.-based robotics and data strategy. On dilution, the answer emphasized a shift away from short-term debt toward operating cash flow, equity-based structures where feasible, standalone robotics financing, and a minimum conversion price of no less than $5 per share for outstanding convertible notes. The debt-reduction question was answered with the argument that legacy liabilities from the post-IPO automotive business should not constrain robotics growth, and management reiterated the target of reducing total liabilities to under $100 million over 3 to 4 quarters.
