Revenue rose 11% to $1.38B ($10M ahead of consensus) on a 20% increase in total vehicle sales to 10,365 units, augmented by a 49% Y/Y increase in software and services revenue to $473M.

The quarter's financial results reflect the company's strategic pivot toward broader market accessibility with the R2, though at the cost of near-term profitability. RIVN maintained prior 2026 guidance for adjusted EBITDA, vehicle deliveries, and capex. The company ended Q1 with cash of $4.8B, down from $6.1B at year-end 2025. Shares are trading 1% higher in after-hours trading.
