What’s Next: Rivian reaffirmed guidance for adjusted EBITDA to be a loss of $4.75 billion for fiscal 2022.

The company also reaffirmed guidance to produce over 25,000 vehicles in fiscal 2022. The company said it is “ramping production and deliveries of the EDV 700 to Amazon.”

Long term, the company’s goal remains to have planned annual production capacity of 600,000 units.

“Our top priority for 2022 remains ramping production in our Normal, Illinois production facility,” the company said. A second facility in Georgia is expected to launch in 2025.
