Nu Ride Inc. reported a net loss of $0.6 million for FY 2025, representing a substantial improvement from the $8.1 million net loss in FY 2024. The loss from operations was $3.8 million, down from $10.9 million in the prior year. Total operating expenses decreased to $3.8 million from $10.9 million year-over-year, driven by lower selling, general and administrative expenses ($6.8 million vs. $12.9 million) and a legal settlement benefit of $3.0 million. Other income contributed $3.1 million, consisting of realized gain on debt securities of $1.3 million and investment and interest income of $1.8 million. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $3.5 million after accounting for $2.9 million in accrued preferred stock dividends.
The company reported no revenue for FY 2025. Following its emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on March 14, 2024, Nu Ride's primary operations consist of: (1) resolving claims filed in the bankruptcy, (2) prosecuting the Foxconn Litigation, (3) pursuing, compromising, settling or otherwise disposing of other retained causes of action, and (4) exploring potential business opportunities including strategic alternatives or business combinations. The company has transitioned from its previous automotive manufacturing business to a post-bankruptcy entity focused on litigation recovery and strategic opportunities.
With no revenue generated, traditional margin analysis is not applicable. The company's operating loss of $3.8 million represents a 65.5% improvement from the $10.9 million operating loss in FY 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 47.5% year-over-year to $6.8 million, primarily due to reduced personnel and professional fees ($6.1 million in 2025 vs. $9.3 million in 2024) and lower insurance premium amortization ($0.5 million vs. $3.1 million). The company recognized a legal settlement and litigation benefit of $3.0 million in FY 2025, compared to $6.0 million in FY 2024, representing adjustments to accrued liabilities subject to compromise.
Net cash used in operating activities was $7.2 million for FY 2025, primarily driven by the net loss of $0.6 million, adjusted for non-cash items including stock-based compensation of $0.4 million and realized gain on debt securities of $1.3 million. Investing activities provided $18.6 million in cash, mainly from maturities of short-term investments of $50.0 million, partially offset by purchases of short-term investments of $29.2 million and issuance of a loan receivable of $2.2 million. The company ended the period with $34.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, total assets of $47.0 million, and total liabilities of $6.0 million. Stockholders' equity stood at $2.6 million, with an accumulated deficit of $1.2 billion.
Management believes the company will have sufficient working capital to meet its needs through at least one year from the filing date (March 26, 2026). The company's liquidity and ability to continue as a going concern depend on: (1) the resolution of significant contingent and other claims and liabilities, and (2) the outcome of efforts to realize value from retained causes of action, including the Foxconn Litigation. The company anticipates that prosecuting claims and evaluating strategic alternatives will be costly, complex, and risky. No assurances can be made that the company will be successful in prosecuting any claim or that any strategic alternative or business combination will be identified or result in profitable operations.
