Hyliion Holdings Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Results

Hyliion Holdings Corp. (NYSE: HYLN) (“Hyliion”), a leader in electrified powertrain solutions for Class 8 semi-trucks, reported its fourth quarter and full year 2021 financial results.

Key Business Highlights

  • Received orders from multiple fleets totaling 100 units backed by deposits to secure Hypertruck ERX production slots
  • Received reservations for an additional 325 units of the Hypertruck ERX
  • Began recognizing revenue on the Company’s Hybrid eX powertrain solution
  • Launched “Ride and Drive” customer experience event series for the Hypertruck ERX
  • Added Jeffrey A. Craig, a recognized leader in the commercial vehicle industry and the former Chairman and CEO of Meritor, Inc., to Hyliion’s board of directors
  • Hired Cheri Lantz as Chief Strategy Officer
  • Expects full year 2022 revenue of $2 million to $3 million from Hybrid eX sales; total operating expenses of $135 million to $145 million to support commercialization efforts of both Hybrid eX and Hypertruck ERX

Executive Commentary

“This month, we received orders for 100 units backed by deposits to secure Hypertruck ERX production slots. These early adopters of our technology recognize our potential to change the landscape of the trucking industry together,” said Thomas Healy, Hyliion’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “In the fourth quarter, with the initiation of revenue recognition on our Hybrid eX powertrain solution, Hyliion achieved another important milestone in pursuit of our vision of being the leading provider of electrified solutions for the commercial vehicle industry and capped off what was a transformational year for the Company.”

“In addition, we have expanded our sales force with four trucking industry veterans. Looking ahead, we will move forward aggressively with our commercialization and business development plans, building on the momentum we have established and the positive feedback from customers and stakeholders at our ongoing Ride and Drive events. We expect that 2022 will be an exciting year for Hyliion in terms of R&D and product development milestones as we broaden our technology solutions to address the transportation sector’s environmental impact.”

"We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from fleets regarding the Hypertruck ERX’s performance and drivability," said Dennis Gallagher, Hyliion’s Chief Operating Officer. "Fleets have also shared examples of how the Hypertruck ERX technology addresses infrastructure hurdles and range anxiety associated with plug-in electric trucks. Additionally, fleets believe the Hypertruck ERX powertrain will be an effective tool for recruiting and retaining drivers who want to be on the cutting edge of the industry."

Hypertruck ERX Fleet Update

In February, the Company secured orders from multiple fleets totaling 100 units of the Hypertruck ERX for production slots, accompanied with deposits. The Company also received incremental reservations for 325 units of the Hypertruck ERX. These orders and reservations are to secure the early Hypertruck ERX production slots and are subject to the finalization of commercial terms.

The orders followed the formal November launch of the Company’s Ride and Drive customer experience event series, consisting of ride-along opportunities and in-depth product education, including events at the Company’s headquarters in Austin.

Hypertruck ERX Development Timing

Hyliion is on track with its previously communicated timeline to complete design verification and initial controlled fleet trials by the end of this year. These will be followed by the continuation of fleet trials and final regulatory approvals prior to the start of production, which the Company expects to commence by late 2023. Hyliion continues to work closely with its current and potential suppliers to secure delivery of components necessary to complete its development and commercial milestones.

The use case of the Hypertruck ERX is focused on linehaul applications, meaning hundreds of miles per day, up to 1,000 miles before needing to refuel. That compares with current plug-in EV solutions that satisfy a use case of only 100 to 200 miles. Hyliion’s Multi-Phase Development Program timeline includes robust design verification and product validation testing, including for summer and winter seasons, and the accumulation of up to one million test miles prior to production.

Hybrid eX Launch Update

In the fourth quarter, Hyliion delivered its initial Hybrid eX powertrain systems and began recognizing revenue. As noted above, due to global shortages of various components, the Company is experiencing longer delivery times and previously forecasted that the revenue from the fourth quarter of 2021 would be a non-material amount. Supply shortages also caused some Hyliion deliveries to be delayed into the first quarter of 2022.

Leadership Expansion

In February, the Company welcomed Jeffrey A. (Jay) Craig to its board of directors. Mr. Craig is a recognized leader in the commercial vehicle space, and was previously the Chairman and CEO of Meritor, Inc., where he oversaw the advancement of Meritor’s product portfolio and the development of a number of electrification products, some of which are now used on Hyliion’s Hypertruck ERX. Prior to joining Meritor, Mr. Craig was president and CEO of General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC) Commercial Finance and before that was president and CEO of GMAC’s business credit division.

In late February, Cheri Lantz will be joining Hyliion as Chief Strategy Officer. Ms. Lantz will continue to drive the Company’s strategic roadmap forward as it expands into Fuel Agnostic and Hydrogen Fuel Cell generator technology and advanced software solutions. Most recently, Ms. Lantz was the VP of Strategy, Transportation Solutions for TE Connectivity and previously was the Chief Strategy Officer at Meritor.

Financial Highlights and Operating Expense Guidance

In the fourth quarter, the Company recorded $200,000 in revenue. The Company’s full year 2021 operating expenses totaled $93.6 million. Hyliion ended the fourth quarter of 2021 with over $557 million on its balance sheet, which is sufficient to fund its current commercialization plans for the Hybrid eX and Hypertruck ERX powertrains. This includes $258.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments of $118.8 million, and long-term investments of $180.2 million.

For the full year 2022, Hyliion expects revenue in the range of $2 million to $3 million in Hybrid eX sales and operating expenses to range between $135 million and $145 million, driven primarily by an increase in research and development costs to support the Hypertruck ERX commercialization milestones.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Conference Call

Hyliion will host a conference call and accompanying webcast at 11:00 a.m. EST / 10:00 a.m. CST on Thursday, February 24, 2022, to discuss its financials, business results, and outlook.
