Lucid missed Wall Street's expectations for both earnings and revenue in the third quarter.[^1] The electric carmaker lost $2.74 a share.[^2] Revenue was $350 million, up 4% from a year earlier.[^3]

On the same day it increased a loan from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund by $1.75 billion.[^4]

## The cash

Lucid ended the quarter with $2.0 billion in total liquidity.[^5] The added loan takes that to $3.75 billion.[^6] The fund's support accounts for the whole increase.[^7]

Put side by side, the two figures show the new borrowing is worth 87.5% of everything the company held at the end of September.

The company said it cut its quarterly cash consumption by 30% from the quarter before.[^8]

## The management

Silvio Napoli became chief executive in June.[^9] These are the first quarterly results since he announced a restructuring plan.[^10]

Lucid's second plant, in Saudi Arabia, is in the final stages of commissioning.[^11]

## The market

The stock fell roughly 5% in aftermarket trading on Monday.[^12]
