During 2025, we grew our engagement with industry leaders such as Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation, a Japanese manufacturer of trucks and buses and a subsidiary of Archion since 2026 and others. In addition, as part of our announced production pause and shift to being a software-led business, we took significant actions to reduce our net operating expenses, including through a 40% reductions-in-force as of year-end 2025, which lowered our research and development payroll expenses by approximately $2.6 million and our selling, general, and administrative payroll expenses by approximately $2.7 million YoY. This excludes one-time termination costs associated with our reductions-in-force, which totaled approximately $2.1 million.
Additionally, following our production pause, we decreased our outstanding 2025 and future production-related commitments with our suppliers from approximately $42 million to approximately
$13 million. Through these and other actions, we reduced the Company's future cash obligations and further streamlined our operating expenses. As a result, our non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) net loss for 2025 decreased by 18%, from $70 million for the year ended 2024, to
$58 million for the year ended 2025.
"We continue to believe that REE's technology, engineering capabilities and intellectual property portfolio represent meaningful strategic value, and we remain focused on evaluating strategic alternatives and opportunities for the business," said Daniel Barel, REE's CEO and co-founder.
2025 Year-End Financial Results and Recent Highlights
Cash & cash equivalents were $14.2 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $54.3 million (excluding a credit facility of $18 million, which expired at year-end 2025) in cash & cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024. As of May 4, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents were $4.9 million.
Free Cash Flow (FCF) burn decreased year-over-year (YoY) by $1.5 million or 2%, from $76.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $75.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the cost-reduction-plan announced in June 2025 and was partially offset by production-related costs incurred prior to the pause in production, which mainly related to inventory purchases for the P7 program, a lower UK R&D tax credits YoY, and the absence in 2025 of UK APC grants that were previously received in 2024.
GAAP net loss decreased by approximately 50%, from $111.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $55.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The YoY improvement was primarily driven by non-cash income from the remeasurement of warrants and derivative liabilities following a decrease in REE's share price in 2025 as well as by savings realized in connection with our cost-reduction-plan and the related reduction-in-force. These improvements were partially offset by non-cash inventory write-downs and impairment of long-lived assets related to the pause in production, a lower UK R&D tax credits YoY, and the absence in 2025 of UK APC grants that were previously received in 2024.
Non-GAAP net loss decreased by approximately 18%, from $70.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to $57.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The YoY improvement
was primarily driven by savings in connection with our cost-reduction plan and the reduction-in-force thereunder. These savings were partially offset by lower UK R&D tax credits YoY and the absence in 2025 of UK APC grants that were previously received in 2024.
Subsequently, in the fourth quarter 2025, the Company began engaging with counterparties regarding strategic alternatives intended to maximize shareholder value and it engaged TD Securities (USA) LLC as its financial advisor to assist it in its strategic review process.
The Company continues to evaluate measures intended to preserve liquidity and maximize shareholder value, including additional operational cost reductions and strategic alternatives.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
We have provided financial information in this press release that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with peer companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures provided in the financial statement tables below.
We believe that Free Cash Flow (FCF) to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash used in our operational activities and capital expenditures. Free Cash flow burn represents the negative cash outflow used in our operating activities and for purchases of property and equipment.
We believe that non-GAAP net loss reflects an additional means of evaluating REE's ongoing operating results and trends. We believe that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.
