"It has been a fantastic weekend to have kicked off customer deliveries and opened our flagship Lounge in Munich yesterday. Now we are entering into a new era, becoming a revenue generating car company!" stated Henrik Fisker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Fisker.

Recent Updates:

First customer vehicle delivered in Copenhagen, Denmark on May 5, 2023 capitalizing on its dual-homologation strategy in Europe and the US where the class-leading Fisker Ocean has a large global total addressable market. Fisker completed the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) FMVSS self-certification and EPA completed its confirmatory testing; Fisker expects to receive the remaining approvals from the EPA (COC) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB EO) later this month. US deliveries to commence after US EPA certification.
The Fisker Ocean Extreme achieved a combined WLTP range of up to 707 km/440 UK miles with 20-inch wheels/tires equipped, exceeding previous estimates and indicating that the Fisker Ocean Extreme, including the limited edition Fisker Ocean One, has the longest range of any battery electric SUV sold in Europe today.
Four-stage supplier ramp up and vehicle assembly plan shifts to right on current homologation and supplier readiness timelines. 2023-to-date, Fisker has manufactured 55 engineering, marketing, and customer vehicles to start the registration and delivery process in Germany and Denmark. Production will ramp up next week and European deliveries are expected to pick up shortly after. Activated fleet of testing and validation vehicles in many regions of the world, focused on validating customer functions and features to continuously improve the customer experience; vehicles are fully connected and may receive software updates. A significant focus has been preparing for high quality vehicle assembly, with inline commissioning and automated end of line testing, so Fisker can achieve a maximum monthly run rate of 6,000 vehicles towards the end of Q3 into Fisker's stage 4 plan. Fisker adjusts its annual production forecast to 32,000-36,000 units and expects to produce 1,400-1,700 customer vehicles in Q2, provided all partners deliver. This adjustment reflects updated homologation timing, supply chain maturity and ramp readiness progress.
Deftpower named as European public charging platform provider, which complements Fisker's Allego partnership in Europe, and when combined with Chargepoint's network in North America, provides Fisker Ocean customers with access to over 600,000 charging points.
Fisker partnered with Ample to deliver battery swappable Fisker Ocean vehicles for fleet customers by Q1 2024. Ample's battery-swapping system will bring a new level of affordability to the Fisker Ocean and will help further Fisker's long-term strategy to increase scale and adoption of its EVs in the US and Europe.
Fisker Ocean reservations and orders approximated 65,000 as of May 8, 2023. During the first quarter, Fisker was disciplined with its marketing spend amidst the ongoing macro turbulence. PEAR reservations exceeded 6,000 as of May 8, 2023.
Fisker Ocean world tour continued, including events in France (Autonomy Mobility World Expo), Norway (Nordic EV Summit), the United Kingdom (Fully Charged Live UK), and the United States (Qualtrics X4 Summit).
Delivered a new version of our Web application and iOS App, including an updated interactive configurator. The new Fisker Web and Apps offer a more intuitive experience exploring and buying a Fisker EV. These products are available in multiple languages and will be continually updated.
The Fisker Ocean won the internationally recognized Red Dot award for outstanding product design. The Fisker Ocean was evaluated on four key design qualities: product function, aesthetics, ease of use, and responsibility / sustainability – and was awarded Best Electric Vehicle 2023.
Fisker continues to bolster its internal technical capabilities and our global team totals more than 900 as of May 8, 2023.
Fisker will be adding an optional "hard core" off-road package called Force E, which can be applied to AWD Oceans after purchase. This will move the Ocean into a new market segment, with few direct EV competitors at its price point. The Force E is expected to be available in Q4 this year. Images will be released later today.
PEAR development continues. Fisker has now reduced the parts count by 25% through a new process we call "steel ++". As we are finalizing our battery partners, launch of PEAR production will shift into 2025.
Fisker is planning its inaugural Investor Product Day event this summer, where it will showcase several new models that will be part of Fisker's goal to produce 1 million vehicles in 2027.

First Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights:

Cash and cash equivalents of $652.5 million as of March 31, 2023; this excludes $22 million of pending VAT receivables. Approximately $47 million raised from Fisker's $350 million at-the-market (ATM) equity program during the first quarter of 2023.
Loss from operations totaled $121.6 million, which includes higher Q1 R&D expenses milestones that are not expected to repeat.
Net loss totaled $120.6 million and $0.38 loss per share.
Net cash used in operating activities totaled $83.7 million and capital expenditures totaled $45.7 million.
Weighted average shares outstanding totaled 321.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

2023 Business Outlook

Four-stage supplier ramp up and vehicle assembly plan moves to right on updated homologation timing. Fisker expects to produce 1,400-1,700 vehicles in Q2, provided Fisker's suppliers and partners can support this volume and ramp; Fisker also revises calendar 2023 production volume guidance to 32,000-36,000 vehicles. The following information reflects Fisker's expectations for key non-GAAP operating expenses and capital expenditures for full-year 2023. Fisker is projecting the total of these items to be within a range of $535 million to $610 million, consistent with its prior expectations last provided in the Q4 and Full Year 2022 Earnings Release. Fisker anticipates an 8-12% gross margin range for full year 2023 and potentially positive adjusted EBITDA ¹ , provided input costs do not change dramatically.

Key Expense Item	USD, millions
Research & Development (Non-GAAP) ¹	$	160 - 190
Selling, General, and Administrative (Non-GAAP) ¹	$	130 - 160
Capital Expenditures	$	245 - 260
Total	$	535 - 610

¹ Excludes stock-based compensation expense. A reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP amount is not provided as the quantification of stock-based compensation excluded from the non-GAAP measure, which may be significant, cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted without unreasonable efforts. The Non-GAAP adjustment for stock-based compensation expense requires additional inputs such as number of shares granted and market price volatilities that are not currently ascertainable and cannot be reasonably estimated.

Conference Call Information

Fisker Inc. will host a conference call to discuss the results at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time (8:00 a.m. Eastern Time) today, May 9, 2023. The live audio webcast will be accessible on Fisker's Investor Relations website at https://investors.fiskerinc.com . A recording of the webcast will also be available following the conference call.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

This press release and the accompanying tables references certain non-generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) financial measures, including non-GAAP adjusted loss from operations, non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expense, non-GAAP research and development expense and non-GAAP total operating expenses. These non-GAAP financial measures differ from their directly comparable GAAP financial measures due to adjustments made to exclude stock-based compensation expense. None of these non-GAAP financial measures is a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

Fisker believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors about Fisker in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by its management in financial and operational-decision making. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore any non-GAAP measures Fisker uses may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Therefore, both GAAP financial measures of Fisker's financial performance and the respective non-GAAP measures should be considered together. Please see the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in the tables below.

Fisker uses the investor relations section on its website as a means of complying with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. It also uses various social media channels as a means of disclosing information about Fisker and its products to its customers, investors and the public (e.g., @fiskerinc on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and LinkedIn).

QIAGEN expands QIAstat-Dx syndromic testing menu in the U.S. with launch of molecular test to improve gastrointestinal care

QIAGEN (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) today announced the launch of the QIAstat-Dx Gastrointestinal Panel 2 in the United States. The launch comes after the recent clearance of the syndromic test for clinical use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and marks a significant step forward in improving the accuracy and efficiency of gastrointestinal (GI) infection diagnosis.

The QIAstat-Dx Gastrointestinal Panel 2 takes about an hour to simultaneously look for up to 16 clinically relevant bacterial, viral and parasitic pathogens that cause most GI infections. Acute infectious gastroenteritis is a common reason for hospitalizations and outpatient physician visits in the U.S., with an estimated 180 million cases per year. [1]

The panel leverages QIAstat-Dx's ability to quickly multiply many genetic targets using real-time PCR technology in the same reaction – an important advance compared to traditional microbiological testing, which often requires samples to be incubated for at least 24 hours and up to 10 days of specimen collection. Software interprets signals from the reaction and provides positive or negative results for each pathogen. QIAstat-Dx additionally provides easy-to-view cycle threshold (Ct) values and amplification curves that can offer additional insights not available with end-point PCR or other techniques.

"The QIAstat-Dx Gastrointestinal Panel 2 allows medical professionals to identify which GI pathogen they are dealing with quickly," said Fernando Beils, Senior Vice President and Head of the Molecular Diagnostics Business Area at QIAGEN. "This is QIAGEN's answer to two major problems in treating GI infections: diagnosis of overlapping symptoms and laborious testing methods."

"It can be very difficult to clinically distinguish between viral, bacterial and parasitic causes of GI illness. We can easily set up and get a full panel of results back faster than culture and microscopy, and access to Ct values for each detected pathogen can provide valuable information when interpreting when interpreting multiple pathogen detections," added Romney Humphries, Ph.D., professor of Pathology, Microbiology, and Immunology and division director for Laboratory Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in the U.S. about the clinical utility of QIAstat-Dx.

The new panel expands QIAGEN's U.S. menu for syndromic testing, building on the use of the QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel Plus that can identify 21 pathogens causing respiratory infections from viral and bacterial pathogens. Both Panels are available as cost-efficient, single-use cartridges that slot easily into the QIAstat-Dx Analyzer 1.0. As they contain all reagents, set up takes less than a minute and requires no precision pipetting.

The U.S. launch supports healthcare providers with diagnosing and treating patients quickly and accurately. They will be able to quickly isolate those at risk of transmitting infections and identify negative cases sooner, reducing the burden of unnecessary testing and treatment costs on the healthcare system and patients. Syndromic tests have also been shown to improve the detection of co-infections, reducing the need for additional testing like endoscopies. By providing fast results, syndromic testing enables healthcare providers to make informed decisions and discontinue empiric antibiotic treatment when viral pathogens are detected, reducing overall antibiotic usage and supporting the goal of responsible antimicrobial stewardship.

Syndromic testing with cloud-based connectivity and epidemiological insights

QIAstat-Dx solutions and syndromic tests to support diagnosing diseases are available in more than 100 countries worldwide, including the U.S. and many across Europe. More than 4,000 cumulative systems were installed worldwide at the end of 2023. Hospitals, laboratories and clinics value the QIAstat-Dx range as an easy-to-use automated solution for the reliable detection of various pathogens.

QIAstat-Dx is available in two formats: The QIAstat-Dx version that brings together up to four Analytical Modules into one integrated system, and the QIAstat-Dx Rise higher-capacity version that provides comprehensive testing for up to 160 tests per day using eight Analytical Modules. QIAstat-Dx Rise is available with CE-IVD marking in Europe and other countries that accept this marking.

With a QIAstat-Dx Connectivity plan, QIAstat-Dx connects to the QIAsphere cloud-based platform that provides remote monitoring of the instruments and test status, allowing customers to receive push notifications on their personal devices. It can monitor an unlimited number of instruments across different hospitals or satellite labs, reducing system downtime and enabling fast and accurate syndromic testing. Connectivity is achieved through the Qbase hub, which can be connected to QIAstat-Dx in minimal time through hospitals' LAN or Wi-Fi network, ensuring sensitive patient data remains within the hospital network.

QIAsphere also allows users to view and export reports on real-time local, regional and global epidemiology data through QIAsphere Insights to support epidemiological surveillance . Further, with the recent release of a medical reference app for QIAstat-Dx users, the Pathogen Guide , QIAstat-Dx is poised as a leader in digital diagnostic technology for customers around the world.
