August 7, 2013

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

While profits were still modest in absolute terms and not our primary mission, income increased by 70% from last quarter, driven by record Model S deliveries and a significant improvement in automotive gross margin. Non-GAAP net income in Q2 was $26 million or $0.20 per share, excluding one-time & non-cash items, and the effect of lease accounting. This compares to $15 million or $0.12 per share of non-GAAP net income last quarter. Since consensus estimates reflect non-GAAP results with lease accounting, our comparable Q2 non-GAAP net income was $7 million or $0.05 per share.

In this letter and going forward, we will report our results on a GAAP basis as well as on a non-GAAP basis, excluding lease accounting. We believe these non-GAAP financials are useful as they align with the underlying cash flow activity and timing of vehicle deliveries, and because we use such information internally for operational management and financial planning purposes.

Over 13,000 Model S customer vehicles are now on North American roads and have logged nearly 60 million miles. This week we started our international expansion by delivering the first Model S vehicles to customers in Europe. As demand for Model S grows, we are continuing to expand our manufacturing capacity as well as our global footprint of service center, retail and Supercharger networks.

With our recent $1 billion capital raise and subsequent repayment of the $440 million outstanding loan from the Department of Energy, our cash balance grew to almost $750 million during the quarter. Our financial position and balance sheet have never been stronger.

Strong Operational Improvements Drive Record Deliveries and Model S Margin

 

LOGO   

During Q2, we improved our production rate by 25% from 400 to almost 500 vehicles per week. 5,150 cars were delivered during the quarter, significantly surpassing our expectation of 4,500 deliveries. In the quarter, we produced several hundred more Model S vehicles for use as service loaners, for customer test drives and for deliveries to European customers in Q3. We are now doing final assembly and testing of vehicles at our European manufacturing facility in Tilburg, Netherlands.

 

Total non-GAAP gross margin improved to 22%, up from 17% last quarter. Despite an expected unfavorable product mix in Q2, non-GAAP automotive gross margin excluding zero emission vehicle (ZEV) credits improved by 8 percentage points. This was in addition to the 9 percentage points of improvement last quarter.

  
European Manufacturing – Tilburg, Netherlands   


Significant cost improvements were achieved as a result of execution of our roadmap including redesigning many elements of Model S for greater ease of manufacturing, economies of scale and supply chain improvements. Importantly, we were able to make nuanced improvements to the car at the same time, as reducing cost does not count if it makes a product worse. Further execution on our cost reduction roadmap is expected to continue to improve non-GAAP automotive gross margin to our target level of 25% (excluding ZEV credits) in Q4 this year. We are cautiously optimistic that a number above that level may be achievable in future quarters.

Demand Growth Continues

Global Model S demand continues to grow, driven by our geographic expansion and enhancements to both the product and ownership experience. Growth in our home state of California remains very strong. At the same time, North American deliveries outside California grew at twice the rate of California deliveries this quarter.

 

LOGO

  

Our new financing program with the resale value guarantee is proving to be quite popular. Over 30% of vehicles delivered in Q2 took advantage of our financing program. We expect the penetration rate to increase with the expansion of our financing programs in additional states in the United States and in international markets.

 

Deliveries into Europe began this week, with the first cars arriving in Norway, Switzerland and the Netherlands. In Norway alone, we expect to deliver almost 800 vehicles this year based on current orders. Orders from Europe have grown every month since February. If demonstrated demand in North America and Europe is matched by similar demand in Asia, annualized sales for Model S could exceed 40,000 units per year by late 2014.

  
First European Deliveries   

We also continue to expand the market appeal of Model S. Recently, we announced several new options, such as a sub-zero weather package, parking sensors, upgraded leather interior, several new wheel options and a yacht-style floor center console. Xenon headlights and high definition backup camera were made standard equipment on all cars. We also unbundled the performance package to enable a greater level of customization.

We opened seven new retail locations in Q2 for a total of 41 locations worldwide, with 30 in North America, 8 in Europe and 3 in Asia. We plan to open several more locations this year, including our first store in China. In the near term, we will slightly curtail the rate of stores openings in favor of more service centers, as it appears that simply increasing our service center coverage is sufficient to drive substantial Model S sales in any region that has a critical mass of Model S customers. We only opened 6 service centers in Q2, for a total of 47 globally, but will accelerate this dramatically in coming quarters and relentlessly focus on providing a level of service that is as close to flawless as humanly possible. As a result, service expenditures in the short term will rise, but we believe that this is the right thing to do for the long-term value of the company.


Faster or Free?: New Customer Charging Options

Our goal is to make recharging Model S as fast and as convenient as possible to enable worry-free long distance driving. We are rolling out 120 kW Superchargers, which are 33% faster than our current version and can replenish half a charge in just 20 minutes, for free.

Since our announcement, we have been installing Superchargers at an accelerating pace, and have now doubled Supercharger coverage from just a few months ago.

 

LOGO    Model S owners now have access to free Supercharging between Portland and Vancouver, between St. Louis and Chicago, and across a substantial number of major inter-city routes in the Northeast, California and Florida. Given the popularity of the Superchargers, we are expanding the size of some locations to enable charging of 10 to 12 Model S vehicles simultaneously. Over the next several weeks, our first European Superchargers will be placed in service with an initial focus on Norway, where we will cover almost 80% of the population of that country.
Tesla Supercharger   

For those customers that desire even faster fueling, we recently announced an automated battery pack swapping capability. This option will allow a customer to swap in a fully charged battery pack in as little as 90 seconds, or about half the time it takes to refill a traditional car with gasoline. We intend to pilot this technology at a few of our Supercharger stations in California later this year, enabling travel between Los Angeles and San Francisco in less time, including stops, than a typical gasoline car. If you pull into one of these Tesla stations with a Model S, you only have to answer one question: do you prefer faster (pack swap) or free (charging)?

Quarterly Results

 

At the start of Q2, we introduced the resale value guarantee for customers who finance their Model S through one of our specified banking partners. Even though we receive full payment for these cars upfront, GAAP requires us to account for these sales as leases and spread the recognition of revenue and cost over the term covered by the resale value guarantee, of approximately three years.

 

Q1 revenues reflect full sales accounting for all Model S deliveries while Q2 revenues reflect some deliveries with lease accounting. To facilitate comparability between periods, we have presented non-GAAP financials excluding the effect of lease accounting, by adding back all deferred revenues and related costs for our Q2 Model S deliveries.

Q2 revenues were $551 million on a non-GAAP basis and $405 million on a GAAP basis. While deliveries increased by 5% from Q1, overall revenues were flat due to an expected drop in ZEV credit revenue. ZEV credit


revenue fell to $51 million this quarter from $68 million last quarter. Vehicle average selling prices (ASPs) also declined slightly during the quarter since we sold 60 kWh range limited cars at a $10,000 lower price point to honor orders for the now discontinued 40 kWh battery pack. This temporary unfavorable product mix impacted our automotive non-GAAP gross margin in Q2 by about 1 percentage point.

In addition to record Model S deliveries, we continued to supply full electric powertrains to Toyota for the RAV4 EV. We also completed various deliverables under the Mercedes Benz B-Class EV program which contributed to development services revenue of almost $4 million.

Research and development (R&D) expenses were $44 million on a non-GAAP basis and $52 million on a GAAP basis. R&D spending declined from Q1 on a non-GAAP basis, as Model S related development expenses continued to decline.

 

LOGO   

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $50 million on a non-GAAP basis and almost $60 million on a GAAP basis. This increase from Q1 was driven primarily by additional expenses related to the expansion of our retail, service and Supercharger infrastructure.

 

Q2 non-GAAP net income was $26 million, or $0.20 per share. This excludes lease accounting, certain non-cash items, and one-time charges of $16 million associated with the payoff of our DoE loan nine years early. Including all these items, GAAP net loss was $31 million or $(0.26) per share.

  
Tesla Store – Frankfurt, Germany   

Our total cash was $747 million at quarter end, an increase of $516 million from last quarter. During the quarter, we raised a little over $1 billion through the issuance of 4.5 million shares of common stock and $660 million of convertible debt. About $450 million of the offering proceeds were used to pay off our DoE loan, including an $11 million fee for early payment.

To mitigate the potential dilution impact from the issuance of convertible debt to our common shareholders, we also entered into a call spread to increase the effective conversion price from $125 to $184 per share. The call spread allows us to avoid incremental dilution from the convertible debt until our common share price climbs past $184. However, until the convertible notes mature in five years, the calculation of diluted earnings per share would be affected when the average stock price in the quarter is above $125. We will publish shortly a table at our investor relations website that illustrates the potential earnings per share dilution.

Cash outflows from operations were $38 million in the quarter. However, this quarter was impacted by several significant one-time items, including the $11 million DoE early payment fee and a $67 million increase in receivables primarily from the timing of payments for ZEV credit sales. We have collected almost all of these receivables at this point. Excluding these one-time effects, we would have generated a significant level of cash from operations.

Outlook

While we expect production to increase from Q2, a considerable number of vehicles produced during the quarter will be in transit to European markets at the end of Q3. As a result, we plan to deliver slightly over 5,000 Model S vehicles in Q3, and remain on plan to deliver 21,000 vehicles worldwide for 2013. We expect that Q3 ASPs will rebound from the Q2 level as we deliver European Signature Series cars and demand for 85 kWh cars remains strong.


We expect Q3 non-GAAP gross margin will remain in the low 20% range, with continuing improvements in Model S vehicle margin, offset by significantly lower ZEV credit revenue. As previously mentioned, we expect our non-GAAP automotive gross margin will continue to rise in the second half of the year to our target of 25%, assuming no contribution from ZEV credits.

R&D expenses are expected to increase significantly in Q3 as we accelerate product development efforts on Model X, Model S right hand drive, and localization of Model S for international markets. SG&A expenses will also rise, driven by the growth in our retail locations, service centers and Supercharger facilities.

Going forward, we expect to be non-GAAP profitable and generate positive cash flow from operations every quarter this year excluding any benefit from ZEV credits.

We expect to spend about $150 million in the second half of this year on capital expenditures, including the recent purchase of 31 acres of land adjacent to our factory for future expansion. The growing demand for Model S gives us the confidence to invest in additional production capacity. There are still some bottle necks in our supply chain that need to be resolved. While we are dealing with these bottlenecks, there remains some uncertainty in our ability to increase production as rapidly as we would like. We are also continuing to invest in our sales and service infrastructure. All these investments, funded in part by our profitable operations, position us for further expansion of our product portfolio and growth globally.

Webcast Information

Tesla will provide a live webcast of its second quarter 2013 financial results conference call beginning at 2:30 p.m. PT on August 7, 2013, at ir.teslamotors.com. This webcast will also be available for replay for approximately one year thereafter.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Consolidated financial information has been presented in accordance with GAAP as well as on a non-GAAP basis. On a non-GAAP basis, financial measures exclude non-cash items such as stock-based compensation, the change in fair value related to Tesla’s warrant liability, non-cash interest expense related to Tesla’s 1.5% convertible senior notes as well as one-time expenses associated with the early repayment of the Department of Energy Loan. Non-GAAP financial measures also exclude the impact of lease accounting on Model S related revenues and cost of revenues, as this perspective is useful in understanding the underlying cash flow activity and timing of vehicle deliveries. Management believes that it is useful to supplement its GAAP financial statements with this non-GAAP information because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to Tesla’s historical performance as well as comparisons to the operating results of other companies. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and therefore, should only be read in conjunction with financial information reported under U.S. GAAP when understanding Tesla’s operating performance. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided below.
