Irvine, California, February 12, 2026: Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIVN), an American company, today announced fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results. Rivian develops and manufactures category-defining electric vehicles as well as vertically-integrated technologies and services.

Rivian Founder and CEO RJ Scaringe said:
“In 2025 we focused on execution as we laid the foundation for dramatically scaling our business. Our Autonomy & AI Day in December unveiled our RAP1 Autonomy Processor, our autonomous driving platform and our AI-driven in-car Rivian Assistant. It’s incredibly exciting to see the early strong reviews of the R2 pre-production builds, and we can’t wait to get them to our customers next quarter.”

Business Highlights:

Progress on the manufacturing launch of R2 remains on track with the first customer deliveries expected in the second quarter of 2026. In mid-January, Rivian marked a key step with the completion of its first R2 manufacturing validation builds using production tools and processes at its plant in Normal, Illinois. R2’s launch variant will be a well-equipped Dual-Motor AWD Vehicle. The company expects to provide additional product and line-up details on March 12.

In December 2025, Rivian hosted its first Autonomy & AI Day. At the event, Rivian showcased its innovation across the company’s vertically integrated hardware, software and autonomy teams. Rivian announced its third generation autonomy platform, which it expects to be one of the most powerful combination of sensors and inference compute in a consumer vehicle in North America when launched in R2 in late 2026. It also introduced its proprietary Rivian Autonomy Processor, RAP1, Rivian’s first generation in-house custom chip, optimized to support multi-modal AI in the physical world. The architecture of RAP1 is expected to result in a significant leap in efficiency and capability from the current system.

Rivian expects the combination of sensor modalities and R2’s advanced computing capabilities with RAP1 will enable the company to deliver advanced autonomous features such as “eyes-off” and personal level 4 capabilities in the future. For more information on Autonomy & AI Day, see stories.rivian.com/rivian-autonomy-ai-day.

In the fourth quarter, Rivian released Universal Hands-Free (UHF), a feature that significantly expands assisted driving capabilities to over 3.5 million miles across the US and Canada for the company’s second generation R1 vehicles. Since its release, customer utilization of Rivian’s assisted driving features has surged, doubling in the weeks post-launch.

The company also introduced Rivian Unified Intelligence, a common AI foundation that understands its products and operations as one continuous system and personalizes the experience for customers. Rivian Assistant, a next-generation voice interface using an in-house agenetic AI framework, is expected to launch in early 2026 on all Rivian consumer vehicles. Rivian Assistant is designed to understand its customers and their context with features such as Google Calendar integration.

Rivian remains focused on scaling the company’s commercial and service infrastructure to help drive brand awareness in preparation for the launch of R2 in the second quarter of 2026. The company now has 36 spaces, complemented by 97 service locations. In addition, Rivian has nearly 700 mobile service vehicles that carry out the majority of service appointments at a location convenient for its customers.

The link to the webcast will be made available on the company’s Investor Relations website at rivian.com/investors.

These statements are neither promises nor guarantees and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: our history of losses as a growth-stage company and our limited operating history; we may underestimate or not effectively manage the cost of revenues, operating expenses, and capital expenditures associated with our business and operations; that we will require additional financings to raise capital to support our business; our ability to attract and retain a large number of consumers and maintain strong demand for our vehicles, software and services; the highly competitive automotive and software and services markets in which we operate; demand for and consumers’ willingness to adopt electric vehicles; that our long-term results depend upon our ability to successfully introduce, integrate and market new products and services; that we have experienced and may in the future experience significant delays in the manufacture and delivery of our vehicles; risks associated with the development of complex software and hardware in coordination with our joint venture with Volkswagen Group and our other vendors and suppliers; risks associated with our joint venture with Volkswagen Group; risks associated with additional strategic alliances or acquisitions; we have experienced and could experience in the future cost increases and disruptions in supply of raw materials, components, or equipment used to produce our vehicles; our dependence on establishing and maintaining relationships with vendors and suppliers; our ability to accurately estimate the supply and demand for our vehicles and predict our manufacturing requirements; our ability to scale our business and manage future growth effectively; our ability to maintain our relationship with one customer that has generated a significant portion of our revenues; that we are highly dependent on the

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we review financial measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP financial measures”). We believe our non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial information, collectively, to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors, because it focuses on underlying operating results and trends, provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance, and assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of each historical non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP is provided above. Reconciliations of forward- looking non-GAAP financial measures are not provided because we are unable to provide such reconciliations without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and potential variability of, certain items, such as stock-based compensation expense and other costs and expenses that may be incurred in the future. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Our non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow.


Adjusted research and development expenses is defined as total research and development expenses, less R&D depreciation and amortization expenses and R&D stock-based compensation expenses.

Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses is defined as total selling, general, and administrative expenses, less SG&A depreciation and amortization expenses and SG&A stock-based compensation expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA defined as net loss before interest expense (income), net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, other (expense) income, net, and special items. Our management team ordinarily excludes special items from its review of the results of the ongoing operations. Special items is comprised of (i) cost of revenue efficiency initiatives which include costs incurred as we transition between major vehicle programs, cost incurred for negotiations with major suppliers regarding changing demand forecasts or design modifications, and other costs for enhancing capital and cost optimization of the Company (ii) restructuring expenses for significant actions taken by the Company, (iii) significant asset impairments and write-offs, and (iv) other items that we do not necessarily consider to be indicative of earnings from ongoing operating activities, including loss (gain) on convertible note, net, and joint venture formation expenses.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash used in operating activities less capital expenditures.
