-- Delivered $120 million of consolidated gross profit for fourth quarter
and $144 million for full year 2025, a more than $1.3 billion improvement
compared to full year 2024
-- Outstanding reviews of pre-production R2 with customer deliveries
expected in the second quarter of 2026
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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."
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results Summary
Q4 2025 Production and Deliveries:
-- 10,974 vehicles were produced at Rivian's manufacturing facility in
Normal, Illinois.
-- 9,745 vehicles were delivered to customers.
Q4 2025 Revenues:
$1,286 million consolidated revenues, compared to $1,734 million in the same quarter in 2024.
-- $839 million of automotive revenues, compared to $1,520 million in the
same quarter in 2024, a 45 percent decrease year-over-year primarily
driven by a $270 million decrease in regulatory credit sales, lower
vehicle deliveries with the expiration of tax credits, and a lower
average sales price due to a higher mix of EDV deliveries.
-- $447 million of software and services revenue, compared to $214 million
in the same quarter in 2024, a 109 percent year-over-year increase
primarily due to an increase in vehicle electrical architecture and
software development services from the joint venture with Volkswagen
Group, as well as increases in sales of vehicle trade-ins ("remarketing")
and vehicle repair and maintenance services.
Q4 2025 Gross Profit:
$120 million of consolidated gross profit, compared to $170 million in the same quarter in 2024.
-- $(59) million automotive gross profit loss, compared to $110 million
for the same quarter in 2024, primarily due to a $270 million decrease in
regulatory credit sales.
-- $179 million software and services gross profit, compared to $60
million for the same quarter in 2024, primarily due to increased vehicle
electrical architecture and software development services from the joint
venture with Volkswagen Group.
Full Year 2025 Production and Deliveries:
-- 42,284 vehicles were produced at Rivian's manufacturing facility in
Normal, Illinois.
-- 42,247 vehicles were delivered to customers.
Full Year 2025 Revenues:
$5,387 million consolidated revenues, compared to $4,970 million for the full year 2024, an 8 percent year-over-year increase.
-- $3,830 million of automotive revenues, compared to $4,486 million for
the full year 2024, a 15 percent decrease year-over-year due to $134
million of lower regulatory credit sales and lower vehicle deliveries,
partially offset by higher average selling prices and a higher mix of R1
deliveries.
-- $1,557 million of software and services revenue, compared to $484
million for the same quarter in 2025, a 222 percent year-over-year
increase, primarily due to increased vehicle electrical architecture and
software development services from the joint venture with Volkswagen
Group, as well as increased remarketing sales and vehicle repair and
maintenance services.
Full Year 2025 Gross Profit:
For the full year 2025, consolidated gross profit was $144 million compared to $(1,200) million for the full year 2024. This is a greater than $1.3 billion improvement year-over-year driven by strong software and services performance, higher average selling prices, and reductions in cost per vehicle.
-- $(432) million automotive gross profit compared to $(1,207) million for
the full year 2024, an improvement year-over-year due to higher average
selling prices and reductions in the cost per vehicle.
-- $576 million software and services gross profit, compared to $7 million
for the full year 2024, primarily due to increased vehicle electrical
architecture and software development services from the joint venture
with Volkswagen Group, as well as increased vehicle repair and
maintenance services and remarketing sales.
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.
2026 Annual Guidance Summary Vehicles Delivered 62,000 - 67,000 Adj. EBITDA $(2.10) billion - $(1.80) billion Capital Expenditures $1.95 billion - $2.05 billion
Rivian will host an audio webcast to discuss the company's results and provide a business update at 2:00pm PT / 5:00pm ET on Thursday, February 12, 2026. The link to the webcast will be made available on the company's Investor Relations website at rivian.com/investors. After the call, a replay will be available at rivian.com/investors for four weeks.

This press release and statements that are made on our earnings call contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this press release and made on our earnings call that do not relate to matters of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements, including without limitation statements regarding our future operations, initiatives and business strategy, including our future financial results, vehicle profitability and future gross profits, our future capital expenditures, the underlying trends in our business (including customer preferences and expectation), macroeconomic and policy conditions, including changes to the availability of government and economic incentives, including tax credits, for electric vehicles, our market opportunity, and our potential for growth, our production ramp and manufacturing capacity expansion and anticipated production levels, our expected future production and deliveries, scaling our service infrastructure, our expected future products and technology and product enhancements, including enhanced performance features and pricing (including the timing of launches and customer deliveries), our roadmap and timeline for the

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 services and reputation of our Founder and Chief Executive Officer; the unavailability, reduction or elimination of government and economic incentives and credits for electric vehicles; that we may not be able to obtain or agree on acceptable terms and conditions for all or a significant portion of the government grants, loans, and other incentives, including regulatory credits, for which we apply or are approved for; risks associated with breaches in data security, failure of technology systems, cyber-attacks or other security or privacy-related incidents; risk of intellectual property infringement claims; effect of trade tariffs or other trade barriers; effects of export and import control laws; risks related to motor vehicle safety standards; delays, limitations and risks related to permits and other approvals required to build, operate or expand operations including the construction and development of facilities to support R2; and the other factors described in our filings with the SEC. These factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this press release. Any such forward-looking statements represent management's estimates as of the date of this press release. While we may elect to update such forward-looking statements at some point in the future, except as may be required by law, we disclaim any obligation to do so, even if subsequent events cause our views to change.
*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.
