DETROIT, March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Workhorse Group Inc. (NASDAQ: WKHS) ("Workhorse" or the "Company"), a North American OEM and provider of all-electric trucks, step vans, shuttles and buses, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. Today's results represent the Company's first earnings report following the completion of its merger with Motiv Electric Trucks in December 2025.
"Today marks a milestone for Workhorse as we report our first set of results as a combined company. Since closing the Motiv merger in December, we have made meaningful progress on all three commitments we made: completing the integration, expanding our product portfolio, and strengthening our financial position," said Scott Griffith, Chief Executive Officer. "Our teams are working together on a new Cycle Plan and product roadmap that charts a clear path for the commonization of our technology platform, along with the development of a proprietary Class 5/6 cab chassis that we believe will unlock a larger slice of the full $23B Class 4 through 6 commercial truck marketplace."
"The completion of the Motiv merger significantly simplified our capital structure and provided a foundation for the next phase of our growth. We are focused on converting our pipeline into revenue, managing our cost structure as we integrate, and positioning the combined company for sustainable growth," Griffith continued. "We also continue to evaluate financing alternatives to strengthen our balance sheet and support our growth plan. We believe we have a clear and achievable path to profitability, and we are executing against it."
Fourth Quarter and Recent Strategic Highlights
-- Merger Integration on Track: Board and governance structure are in place,
and employee and office integrations are nearly complete. The Company has
finalized a plan for full enterprise process and systems integration,
which it expects to execute over the next two to three quarters.
Manufacturing activities are being consolidated at the Company's Union
City, Indiana facility.
-- Targeting $20 Million in Annualized Cost Synergies: The Company has begun
realizing savings through the elimination of duplicative administrative
functions and expects to capture additional synergies as it completes the
consolidation of manufacturing operations and rationalizes its supply
chain.
-- Customer Order Lending Facility: The Company entered the year with a
stronger balance sheet following the merger, and, as previously announced,
put in place at closing a new $40 million customer order lending facility
for working capital to fulfill orders.
-- Expanded Product Lineup and Lower Pricing: The Company recently launched
a new, lower-cost configuration of the W56 step van featuring a 140
kilowatt-hour battery option.
-- Sales Integration & Backlog: We are seeing positive trends in opportunity
creation, progression, and closings that reflect the early impact of the
operational and strategic changes we have implemented to our go-to-market
strategy. We believe this progress is translating into a strengthening
sales pipeline that supports our plans for 2026 and beyond.

Note on Financial Statement Presentation
On December 15, 2025, we completed our merger with Motiv. While the legal acquirer in the merger was Workhorse, for financial accounting and reporting purposes under U.S. GAAP, Motiv was the accounting acquirer, and the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of Motiv became the historical consolidated financial statements of the consolidated company, and Workhorse's assets, liabilities and results of operations were consolidated with those of Motiv beginning on December 15, 2025.
