Tesla Third Quarter 2016 Update

 

•    GAAP net income of $22 million and positive free cash flow of $176 million

•    Record vehicle production, deliveries, and revenue

•    GAAP gross profit per car increased significantly from Q2 to Q3

•    Long-term debt reduced and liquidity increased to support future growth

•    Every new Tesla produced now comes with hardware for self-driving

•    Dramatic improvement in Model X reliability

•    Model 3 on plan for volume deliveries in second half of 2017

The Tesla third quarter results reflect strong company-wide execution in many areas. Furthermore, we expect this to continue into Q4 and project positive GAAP net income (excluding non-cash stock-based compensation) despite ZEV credit sales in Q4 likely being negligible. We set new records for vehicle production, deliveries and revenue, which led to GAAP profitability and positive free cash flow (cash flows from operations less capital expenditures). At the same time, GAAP total automotive gross margin and gross profit per car increased substantially.

New product launches, increased store efficiency and new store openings drove year-on-year order growth in Q3, while self-driving hardware and other product enhancements position Tesla for additional market share gains. Our energy storage products are gaining increased market acceptance, firmly establishing Tesla as a leader in energy storage solutions, and surpassing our competitors in the breadth and scope of our offerings across residential, commercial, and utility-scale storage markets.

At the same time, we continue to lay the foundation for future growth. Gigafactory construction and Model 3 development both remain on plan to support volume Model 3 production and deliveries in the second half of 2017. Meanwhile, our efforts to transform the solar industry will be demonstrated at our joint product introduction with SolarCity on October 28th.

Continuous Product Innovation

Last week, we announced that all newly produced Tesla vehicles have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability. This same capability will also be built into every Model 3. Eight surround cameras provide 360 degree visibility around the car at up to 250 meters of range. Twelve enhanced ultrasonic sensors complement this vision, allowing for detection of both hard and soft objects at nearly twice the distance of the prior system, and computing power has been increased by 40-fold over our previous generation hardware. Fleet learning means that all Tesla vehicles with Autopilot will naturally get better over time. Additionally, new safety and convenience features will be rolled out via over-the-air software updates. Tesla vehicles have already been driven over 3 billion miles, including more than 1.3 billion miles logged by vehicles with Autopilot hardware.

 

In August, we announced the Model S P100D with Ludicrous mode (P100DL), which is the world’s quickest production car with a 0-60 mph time of 2.5 seconds. However, unlike other supercars, P100DL is a four door sedan, can seat five adults plus two children, has additional room for cargo, and has industry-leading crash safety. It is also the longest range all-electric vehicle on the market, able to drive 315 miles on a single charge. We also unveiled the Model X P100DL, which can accelerate to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds.

Over the past month, we released Version 8.0 software via an over-the-air update for all Model S and Model X vehicles. This update adds numerous enhancements to the navigation and audio applications on every Model S and Model X, and also increases Autopilot capability with enhanced radar signal processing.

Strong Operational Execution

In Q3, combined net orders for new Model S and Model X vehicles grew 68%, compared with the same period last year. During the quarter, we opened 17 new stores and service centers to increase our customer support network to 250 locations globally. We believe new product variants such as the P100DL, additional Model X seating variants, new product capabilities such as Enhanced Autopilot and hardware for Full Self-Driving Capability, Autopilot 8.0 software, and new store and service center openings should continue to drive strong vehicle order growth.

We achieved record production levels in Q3, rising to 25,185 vehicles for an increase of 37% from Q2 and an increase of 92% from Q3 last year.

 

More than four years since its introduction, Model S continues to expand market share, which is a testament to our continuous vehicle innovation. In the U.S., which is Tesla’s most mature market, Model S deliveries grew nearly 60% year over year, increasing its lead status with a 32% share of the top 12 selling large luxury sedans, as Model S unit growth significantly outpaced U.S. large luxury sedan category sales growth.

Despite still ramping production, Model X is also gaining market share, already growing to 6% of the U.S. large luxury SUV market in Q3, or #8 in the large luxury SUV category, edging out the Porsche Macan and Cayenne, the Land Rover R-R Sport and the Infiniti QX80. The large luxury SUV category is three times the size of the large luxury sedan category in the U.S., and represents a huge opportunity to further increase Model X sales.

Growing Destination Charging Coverage

We continue to expand the Tesla vehicle charging network. At the end of Q3, we had 715 Supercharger locations globally, with 4,461 individual Superchargers. 97% of the population in the continental U.S. and 86% of western Europeans are now within 150 miles of a Supercharger. High population areas in China, Japan and Australia will soon reach similar coverage levels. The Supercharging network is supplemented by 3,222 destination chargers with 5,547 connection points globally at the end of Q3. Destination charging offers convenient charging at hotels, restaurants and shopping centers.

Tesla’s energy storage business also continues to grow. Tesla is installing a 20 MW/80 MWh Powerpack system at the Southern California Edison Mira Loma substation to help reduce rolling blackouts. Upon completion, this system will be the largest lithium ion battery storage project in the world and will hold enough energy to power more than 2,500 households for a day or charge 1,000 Tesla vehicles.

 

 

Future Growth Initiatives

For Model 3, we have completed production line layouts and will soon begin installation of new body welding and final assembly lines. We have established a world class team of suppliers for Model 3 production equipment and components and critical long lead time equipment and components have been sourced. We are now testing vehicle systems such as chassis, the high voltage drive system, and low voltage subsystems such as vehicle controllers, HVAC, infotainment and lighting. As refinement of the Model 3 continues, we remain on plan for our timing, volume, vehicle capability, pricing, and margin targets.

The Gigafactory remains on track to begin cell production later this year for use initially in our energy storage products and later to support volume production and deliveries of Model 3 in the second half of 2017. In addition, we continue to expand production capacity at our Fremont facility and are exploring additional production capacity in Asia and Europe.

With the previously announced plan to acquire SolarCity, we look forward to making solar as compelling as electric vehicles. Acquiring SolarCity would leverage Tesla’s existing investments in the Gigafactory and the next-generation Powerwall and Powerpack to drive revenue growth. In addition to the revenue growth associated with making solar more compelling, the combined company is expected to achieve over $150 million of direct cost synergies in the first full year post-close. Over the coming days, there will be a number of additional events relating to the SolarCity acquisition and our strategic plan for the combined company:

 

  •   October 28th: Product demonstration event to unveil an integrated solar roof with next-generation energy storage and EV charging.


  •   November 1st: Additional information to be released about the combined company.

 

  •   November 17th: Stockholder meeting to tally the final vote on the acquisition.

Q3 Results

Starting this quarter, our financial releases no longer include the non-GAAP revenue disclosures that we historically provided. To simplify our financial reporting, we add back non-cash stock-based compensation (SBC) to calculate non-GAAP results. Consistent with previous quarters, non-GAAP automotive gross margin will also exclude ZEV credit sales.

Total Q3 GAAP revenue was $2.30 billion, up 145% from Q3 2015, while total Q3 gross margin was 27.7%, compared to 21.6% in Q2.

Total automotive revenue was $2.15 billion on a GAAP basis, up 152% from Q3 2015. Our final Q3 delivery count was 24,821, over 300 more than the estimated delivery count we shared on October 2nd. Deliveries increased 114% from the third quarter of 2015, and was comprised of 16,047 Model S and 8,774 Model X vehicles. In addition, 5,065 vehicles were in transit to customers at the end of the quarter. These vehicles will be delivered in Q4.

In Q3, deliveries where we retain residual risk, and thus were subject to lease accounting, were 32% of total deliveries, down from 36% in Q2. The elimination of resale value guarantees in the U.S. in Q3 had no impact on demand, signaling strong consumer confidence in the long-term value of our vehicles. During Q3, we were asked to repurchase fewer than 2% of vehicles eligible for buy back under our resale value guarantee program.

Q3 GAAP Total automotive gross margin was 29.4%, while non-GAAP Automotive gross margin was 25.0% excluding SBC and $139 million of ZEV credit revenue. Non-GAAP automotive gross margin excluding ZEV credits increased 140 basis points sequentially because of improved manufacturing efficiency and higher production volume. Reliability of our vehicles continues to improve and our warranty accrual rates on new and used vehicles declined from Q2 to Q3. The amount of issues that we have addressed with Model X have fallen by 92% in the last 12 months, a reflection of the improvements we have made in Model X due to our ability and commitment to react quickly to issues.

Model S average prices decreased 6.5% sequentially, primarily due to the introduction of the 60 kWh models and production of the 100 kWh variants only starting late in Q3, which would otherwise have balanced that out. 2% of the decline was due to price adjustments that were made for inventory cars that already had mileage on them, showroom cars with wear, and cars that were built before product transitions, such as those with the original fascia. Model X average prices declined 1.2% sequentially as we increased production beyond just the highest-priced Q2 Signature builds.

Q3 Services and other revenue was $150 million, up 78% from Q3 2015 and up 70% sequentially from Q2. The increase was primarily due to higher sales of used vehicles and stationary storage products. Q3 Services and other gross margin was 3.4%, up from 2.5% in Q2, and generally in line with our expectations.

Total Q3 GAAP operating expenses were $551 million, including $81 million of SBC. After excluding SBC, non-GAAP operating expenses were $471 million, up 4% from Q2. GAAP research and development expenses were $214 million, including $40 million of SBC. Excluding SBC, non-GAAP research and development expenses increased 10% sequentially to $174 million, as vehicle development programs accelerate. GAAP sales, general and administrative expenses were $337 million, including $41 million of SBC. After excluding SBC, non-GAAP sales, general and administrative expenses of $296 million were up 1% sequentially, demonstrating our efforts to increase operating leverage.

Our Q3 GAAP net income was $22 million, or $0.14 per share on 157 million diluted shares, while our non-GAAP net income was $111 million, or $0.71 per share on a diluted basis, after adding back $90 million of SBC. Both figures include an $0.08 per share loss of other expense, net, primarily related to foreign currency transactions and the conversion of most of our 2018 convertible notes.

Our cash flow from operations during the quarter was $424 million due to increased sales, coupled with careful expense management. Free cash flow was $176 million as we invested $248 million in capital expenditures to increase production capacity, accelerate


Gigafactory construction, and expand customer support infrastructure. Capital expenditures remain on plan to help us reach our goal of producing 500,000 vehicles in 2018. In addition, we collected $173 million of cash inflows from vehicle sales to our bank leasing partners, which are not included in cash flow from operations.

With our strong cash flows this quarter, we were able to reduce the balances on our borrowing facilities by $178 million and settle $422 million of conversions on our 2018 convertible notes, strengthening our balance sheet. After this $600 million in debt repayment, cash and cash equivalents were $3.1 billion at quarter end, compared with $3.2 billion at the end of Q2.

Our sources of liquidity expanded in the quarter as we were able to increase our borrowing capacity with the addition of a $300 million retail lease financing facility. We were also able to expand our indirect leasing capacity for our customers as our largest partner in the U.S. increased our capacity with them by over 80%. We are also adding a new leasing partner in the fourth quarter of 2016. These increases will allow us to continue to provide attractive and convenient financing sources for our customers.

Outlook

We maintain our guidance of 50,000 new vehicle deliveries for the second half of 2016, with a Q4 plan of just over 25,000 deliveries, despite the challenges of winter weather and the holiday season. We expect about 30% to 35% of these deliveries to be accounted for as leases for revenue recognition purposes.

As previously provided in our second quarter update, we guided a 2 to 3 percentage points improvement in automotive gross margin on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis by the end of 2016. Automotive gross margin on a non-GAAP basis excludes ZEV credits and SBC. We are on track to meet this guidance.

We also guided in our second quarter update that full year 2016 operating expenses, both on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, would grow approximately 30% from 2015. We are also on track to meet this guidance.

We now expect our capital expenditures in 2016 will be approximately $1.8 billion as we continue to focus on capital efficiency. Capital expenditures for the past three quarters totaled $759 million.

We plan to continue demonstrating strong execution against established goals while also creating new opportunities for future growth.

Webcast Information

Tesla will provide a live webcast of its third quarter 2016 financial results conference call beginning at 2:30 p.m. PT on October 26, 2016, at ir.tesla.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 to supplement our consolidated financial results. Our non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) on a per share basis, free cash flow, and operating cash flows plus change in collateralized lease borrowing. 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. Management also believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to our investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it allows investors greater transparency to the information used by Tesla management in its financial and operational decision-making so that investors can see through the eyes of Tesla management regarding important financial metrics that Tesla management uses to run the business as well as allows investors to better understand Tesla’s performance. 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.

(4)    Our common stock price exceeded the conversion threshold price of our convertible senior notes due 2018 (2018 Notes) issued in May 2013; therefore, the 2018 Notes are convertible at the holder’s option during the third quarter of 2016. As such, the carrying value of the 2018 Notes was classified as a current liability as of September 30, 2016 and the difference between the principal amount and the carrying value of the 2018 Notes was reflected as convertible debt in mezzanine equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016.
