Tesla posted its fourth consecutive quarterly profit and positive free cash flow despite factory shutdowns due to COVID-19. Their margins and revenue continued to grow significantly year over year.

Tesla increased their cash reserves by over half a billion dollars while maintaining a gross margin above 25% and net income over 100 million dollars for the quarter, showing financial strength and resilience during the pandemic.

Vehicle production and deliveries increased sequentially over the previous quarter, with Model Y and China-made Model 3 production rates continuing to rise to meet demand.

HIGHLIGHTS SUMMARY

Cash $535M increase in our cash and cash equivalents in Q2 to $8.6B Our business has shown strong resilience during these unprecedented
times. Despite the closure of our main factory in Fremont for nearly half
Operating cash flow less capex (free cash flow) $418M in Q2 the quarter, we posted our fourth sequential GAAP profit in Q2 2020,
while generating positive free cash flow of $418M.

Our profit improved sequentially due to fundamental operational


improvements. Additionally, we experienced costs associated with
factory shutdowns, which were offset by actions taken during the quarter
Profitability $327M GAAP operating income; 5.4% operating margin in Q2
to reduce expenses. For the trailing 12 months, our GAAP operating
margin reached nearly 5%. We expect our operating margin will continue
$104M GAAP net income; $451M non-GAAP net income (ex-SBC) in Q2
to grow over time, ultimately reaching industry-leading levels.

Four quarters of sequential profitability


We believe the progress we made in the first half of this year has
positioned us for a successful second half of 2020. Production output of
our existing facilities continues to improve to meet demand, and we are
adding more capacity. Later this year, we will be building three factories
on three continents simultaneously.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Revenue In Q2, total revenues remained relatively flat QoQ. The positive impact of higher vehicle deliveries, higher regulatory credit revenue and
higher energy generation and storage revenue was somewhat offset by lower vehicle average selling price (ASP) and lower services and
other revenue.

Profitability Our operating profit improved in Q2 despite challenging circumstances. Positive impacts included lower operating costs due to a
temporary reduction in employee compensation expense, a sequential increase in regulatory credit revenue and deferred revenue
recognition of $48M related to a Full Self Driving (FSD) feature release. These positive contributions were offset by significant costs
related to factory shutdowns, as well as a sequential increase in non-cash SBC expense primarily attributable to $101M related to 2018
CEO award milestones.

While ASPs declined sequentially, improvements in product and manufacturing costs, driven by Model Y and China-made Model 3, and
improved aftermarket software and connectivity revenue made a positive impact on our profitability.

Cash Quarter-end cash and cash equivalents increased by $535M QoQ to $8.6B, driven mainly by free cash flow of $418M. Free cash flow was
negatively impacted by a higher percentage of deliveries occurring towards the end of the quarter compared to prior quarters, as well as
an increase in government rebates and regulatory credit receivables, which are paid in accordance with their payment terms. Since vehicle
production resumed in Fremont and Nevada in early May, our days payable outstanding was not impacted as much as initially ant icipated.

Since leasing revenue and leasing cost of goods sold (COGS) are driven by total net leased vehicle count, we have included th e quarter-end operating lease vehicle
count in the table above. Some legacy leases require lease accounting, despite receiving cash associated with the full vehicle price at time of deliver y. As those leases
expire and the return option is not taken, the remaining unrecognized revenue and COGS are booked to leasing revenue and leasing COGS.

Autopilot & Full Self Driving

Our traffic light and stop sign recognition system is becoming more robust as we
continue to collect more data from our customers driving through intersections. As
of Q2, our FSD-equipped cars will either stop at an intersection or drive through it
without driver confirmation when it is deemed safe to do so. Ultimately, the
necessity for confirmation will be withdrawn completely.

Vehicle Software

It has been more than eight years since we delivered our first Model S. During that
time, we have regularly updated the software to each of our over one million
vehicles. Every week, we review feedback from blogs, social media or aggregators

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

Energy Business

Although recently launched and still ramping, Megapack generated a profit for the
first time in Q2. Storage deployments increased sequentially to 419 MWh, driven by
increases in both Powerwall and Megapack.

Autobidder, a real-time energy trading platform that is designed to maximize energy


revenue from our utility scale batteries, continues to be an important part of our
storage strategy. We recently launched this platform in Europe and started trading
on the European Power Exchange, in addition to exchanges in the U.S. and
Australia.

Solar
Autobidder platform
Recently, we made home retrofit solar even more affordable in the U.S., while also
offering an increased efficiency panel. At $1.49 per watt, the average Tesla solar $35,000
system is now one-third less expensive(1) than the industry. The average customer Before incentives

OUTLOOK

Introduction Although we have successfully ramped vehicle production back to prior levels, it remains difficult to predict whether
there will be further operational interruptions or how global consumer sentiment will evolve in the second half of
2020. We will continue to update our outlook as necessary.

Volume We have the capacity installed to exceed 500,000 vehicle deliveries this year, despite recent production interruptions.
While achieving this goal has become more difficult, delivering half a million vehicles in 2020 remains our target.

Cash Flow We should have sufficient liquidity to fund our product roadmap, long-term capacity expansion plans and other
expenses.

Profit For the trailing 12 months, we achieved a GAAP operating margin of just under 5%. We expect our operating margin
will continue to grow over time, ultimately reaching industry-leading levels with capacity expansion and localization
plans underway.

Product We are continuing to build capacity for Model Y at Gigafactory Berlin and Gigafactory Shanghai, and we remain on
track to start deliveries of these vehicles from both locations in 2021. The next US Gigafactory site has been selected
and preparations are underway. Tesla Semi deliveries will also begin in 2021. We continue to significantly invest in our
product roadmap.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

WEBCAST INFORMATION
Tesla will provide a live webcast of its second quarter 2020 financial results conference call beginning at 2:30 p.m. PT on July 22, 2020 at ir.tesla.com. This webcast will also be available for replay for approximately one year
thereafter.

CERTAIN TERMS

When used in this update, certain terms have the following meanings. Our vehicle deliveries include only vehicles that have been transferred to end customers with all paperwork correctly completed. Our energy product
deployment volume includes both customer units installed and equipment sales; we report installations at time of commissioning for storage projects or inspection for solar projects, and equipment sales at time of delivery.
"Adjusted EBITDA" is equal to (i) net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders before (ii)(a) interest expense, (b) provision for income taxes, (c) depreciation, amortization and impairment and (d) stock-based
compensation expense, which is the same measurement for this term pursuant to the performance-based stock option award granted to our CEO in 2018. "Free cash flow" is operating cash flow less capital expenditures.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Consolidated financial information has been presented in accordance with GAAP as well as on a non-GAAP basis to supplement our consolidated financial results. Our non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP automotive
gross margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders on a diluted per share basis (calculated using weighted average shares for
GAAP diluted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and free cash flow. These non-
t is useful to supplement its GAAP financial statements with this non-GAAP information because
management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. Management also believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to our
investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it allows investors greater transparency to the information and financial metrics used by Tesla management in its financial and operational decision-
making, as -GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and therefore, should only be read in conjunction with financial
-GAAP financial information is provided above.
