Nikola and ITD Industries Launch First Hydrogen Station in Ontario

New station marks major step towards decarbonizing Canada’s busiest commercial transport sector

TORONTO — July 30, 2024 —  Nikola Corporation (Nasdaq: NKLA), a global leader in zero-emissions transportation and energy supply and infrastructure solutions, via the HYLA brand, together with ITD Industries, opened the first commercial hydrogen refueling station for the heavy-duty transportation sector in Ontario. The station, located at ITD Industries’ headquarters in Etobicoke, ON, is situated at 161 The Westmall, a pivotal location near Highway 401, Highway 427, and the Queen Elizabeth Highway (QEW).

Notable guests in attendance at a special launch event included Hon. Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario, Hon. Sam Oosterhoff, Associate Minister of Energy-Intensive Industries of Ontario and other provincial and federal dignitaries, as well as notable business leaders within the energy, retail and transportation industry such as Walmart Canada, Canadian Tire and Loblaws.

This station marks a significant milestone for Nikola and ITD Energy, a subsidiary of ITD Industries, which is the first Canadian dealer in the Nikola sales and service network. The station uses a 700-bar pressure-fill system, allowing hydrogen fuel to be dispensed into onboard storage for long-range vehicles, such as the Nikola hydrogen fuel cell electric Class 8 truck.

“It is inspiring to witness the vision of a hydrogen-powered future coming to life with the opening of this refueling station in the greater Toronto area,” said Nikola CEO Steve Girsky. “Collaborating with ITD Industries, we are not only providing trucks but also the fueling solutions to support the entire hydrogen ecosystem. This station marks significant progress in our mission to build a comprehensive hydrogen infrastructure in North America.”

Together with partners such as the Canadian Hydrogen Association and other private and public organizations, including Walmart Canada, which recently became the first major retailer in Canada to use a Nikola hydrogen fuel cell electric truck in its fleet, Nikola and ITD Industries are spearheading the transformation of Ontario and Canada’s commercial transportation sector towards a carbon-free future.

“The presence of so many distinguished public and private figures, underlines and validates the importance of this station launch to the future of long-haul carbon-free commercial transportation. This station is the first of several ITD is planning on erecting across Ontario with Nikola Corporation as we aim to build a hydrogen fueling corridor connecting Windsor to Montreal,” mentioned Philip Turi, COO of ITD Industries during the opening remarks.

“Congratulations to Nikola Corporation and ITD Industries on building the first commercial hydrogen refueling station for the heavy-duty transportation sector in Ontario,” said Premier Doug Ford. “This milestone marks a significant step as we work together with businesses, industry and all levels of government to build reliable, affordable, and clean energy solutions to power our province’s growth.”

Nikola anticipates significant growth in Canada with eligibility received for the Incentives for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicles (iMHZEV) Program. The iMHZEV program offers Canadian organizations (for profit and non-profit), in all provinces, territories and municipalities, up to $200,000 (CAD) in incentives towards the purchase or lease of the Nikola hydrogen fuel cell electric truck and up to $150,000 (CAD) in incentives towards the purchase or lease of the Nikola battery-electric truck.

Furthermore, Nikola is eligible for the Clean BC Go Electric Rebates in the province of British Columbia, with $150,000 (CAD) in incentives towards the purchase or lease of both the Nikola hydrogen fuel cell and battery-electric trucks. This provincial incentive is stackable with the iMHZEV federal incentive.

Earlier this year, Alberta’s first commercial hydrogen refueling station was unveiled signaling the beginning of an expanded hydrogen refueling network across Western Canada. This HYLA refueling station is situated along Alberta’s two largest urban centers, the Edmonton region and Calgary, and will play a key role in decarbonizing one of Western Canada’s busiest highways.

Walmart Canada Becomes the First Major Retailer in Canada to Introduce a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Semi-Truck

MISSISSAUGA, ON – June 27, 2024 – Walmart Canada’s new hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric semi-truck is now on the roads in Mississauga, Ontario as the retailer continues its ambitious journey towards a 100% alternatively-powered fleet.

Walmart Canada is the first major retailer in Canada to introduce a hydrogen fuel cell electric semi-truck to its fleet. Operating with zero tailpipe emissions, the Nikola Hydrogen Fuel Cell EV Class 8 tractor has a range of about 800 kilometres and on average can avoid 97 metric tons of CO2 tailpipe emissions annually according to the manufacturer.* According to Nikola, Walmart Canada is also the first retail fleet to operate one of these trucks in North America.

The introduction of trucks powered by hydrogen fuel opens the door to longer-haul travel with alternative power, extending the range that’s currently possible with the fleet’s electric options. This first hydrogen FCEV was sourced by Etobicoke, Ontario-based ITD Industries Inc., an industry-leading transportation solutions provider, and will be deployed in Ontario for longer-haul trips.

“We’re proud to be introducing Walmart Canada’s first hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle as a major milestone on our journey to becoming a regenerative company,” said Gonzalo Gebara, president and CEO, Walmart Canada. “This is a first for a retailer in Canada and is an example of how we will continue to push forward, embrace new technology and spark change within the industry.”

“At Nikola, we are incredibly proud to support Walmart’s sustainability initiatives and to be supporting their historic milestone of being the first retail fleet in Canada to operate a hydrogen fuel cell electric semi-truck,” said Steve Girsky, Nikola President and CEO. “This collaboration with Walmart Canada, a brand committed to a more sustainable future, aligns perfectly with our mission to drive innovation and environmental responsibility in the transportation industry. This achievement underscores our shared vision for a zero emissions future and the positive impact we can make together for our communities and the planet overall.”

“As our government massively expands production of clean, reliable and affordable energy we’re creating an environment for businesses to invest and create new jobs,” said Stephen Lecce, Ontario’s Minister of Energy and Electrification. “It’s no surprise that Walmart has chosen to deploy its first hydrogen-powered semi-truck in its fleet here in Ontario. We’re rapidly building out Ontario’s hydrogen economy with new production projects that are going to help forward-looking businesses across the province transition to hydrogen vehicles and reduce their emissions.”

“Walmart Canada has an ambitious plan to power 100% of our fleet with alternative power. We’re proud to be the first retailer in Canada to introduce a hydrogen fuel cell semi-truck to our fleet as a major milestone towards achieving that goal,” said Michael Buna, senior director, national fleet, Walmart Canada. “As we work to be more sustainable in our day-to-day fleet operations, embracing additional types of alternative power allows us to go further, faster.”

The Nikola hydrogen fuel cell electric semi-truck carries high-pressure gaseous hydrogen onboard in specialized tanks, similar to how a conventional truck carries diesel. The hydrogen then runs through the fuel cell stack, which is converted to electricity by combining it with oxygen, with water vapor as the only byproduct. This electric power is transferred to the high-voltage power-net, which can charge the on-board batteries, and transfer power to the pavement via an e-axle with integrated electric motors.

According to Natural Resources Canada, hydrogen is the simplest, lightest and most abundant element on earth, has the highest energy per unit of any fuel and plays a critical role in working towards a carbon-neutral future.

Nikola Corporation Reports First Quarter 2024 Results

  • Continued to execute our plan to ramp up hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks (FCEVs) in 2024
    • Wholesaled 40 FCEVs in Q1, all designated for end fleets, exceeding high-end of guidance range
    • Marked the second quarter of serial production of FCEVs; Program-to-date, Nikola has wholesaled 75 FCEVs
  • Green shoots in new markets like N.Y., meeting the demands of fleet users beyond Calif.
  • Expanded HYLA’s North American reach. During the quarter, we opened:
  • Seeing opportunities in constructive green policies
  • Completed first delivery of remediated BEV back to customer in Q1

PHOENIX – May 7, 2024 — Nikola Corporation (Nasdaq: NKLA), a global leader in zero-emissions transportation and energy supply and infrastructure solutions, via the HYLA brand, today reported financial results and business updates for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

“We continue to move forward rapidly and execute our plans. And please keep that in mind – we are in the execution phase, not the planning or concepting phase,” said Steve Girsky, President and CEO of Nikola. “Last quarter, I talked about getting on the field with the first deliveries of our hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks. Today, we are executing plays, competing, and cultivating more green shoots as we expand upon current markets and enter new ones.”


Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Truck
At the end of Q1, we exceeded the high-end of the guidance range by delivering 40 FCEVs, all designated for end fleets. That makes 75 wholesaled FCEVs in the first two quarters of serial production. We’re seeing green shoots with repeat and new fleets, some in new markets such as N.Y. While our initial focus has been Calif. and Canada, we can expand our reach to meet the demands of end fleet users virtually anywhere in the U.S.

Program-to-date, Nikola FCEVs have accumulated over 830,000 miles with an average fuel economy exceeding our target of 7.2 mi/kg. We’re doing what it takes to delight prospective and existing customers with the best possible experience. 

Energy
Our HYLA team is executing its Hydrogen Highway Plan, and we remain on track. Previously we had committed to nine additional HYLA refueling stations in Calif. by year-end 2024. Now we are expecting to provide nine hydrogen fueling solutions by mid-year 2024 and 14 by year-end 2024. These solutions include modular fuelers and partner stations in Calif., Canada and our home station at our Coolidge, Ariz. manufacturing facility. We want to emphasize that building the hydrogen ecosystem requires industry wide collaboration for the benefit of all. We need partners and they come in different forms and stages of infrastructure development. The shared mission is to build an open ecosystem accessible to all.  


Constructive Green Policies
We maintained our dominant market share of HVIP vouchers for Class 8 FCEVs, ending the quarter with 362 of 367 or 99% of the unredeemed vouchers that were requested in 2023 through March 2024. On the Class 8 BEV side, we ended Q1 with 85 unredeemed vouchers or 30% market share. While HVIP is only one program, we’re encouraged by the progress in constructive green policies. Two in particular, help us fund our business. CARB’s Heavy-Duty Omnibus Regulation allows us to monetize the NOx and particulate matter or PM credits we generate from selling zero-emissions trucks on a model year basis. We are pleased to confirm that Nikola has executed its first sale agreement for credits generated for Model Year 22 and revenue from this transaction will be recognized in Q2 2024. We expect future revenue from the sale of CARB credits to grow over time and be meaningful. 


Battery-Electric Truck
Lastly, we completed the first delivery of a remediated BEV in Q1. We continue to prioritize returning BEVs to customers and dealers and now expect to complete remediation of these units by year-end 2024. Our ability to sell Nikola’s on-hand inventory, however, will be dependent upon future battery supply; we now expect to opportunistically sell on-hand inventory for revenue in 2025. 

We’ve also taken this opportunity to “future proof” the BEV 2.0, as it now shares significant software commonality with the battery and operating systems on the FCEV, allowing customers to receive next-generation upgrades seamlessly over-the-air as they are deployed. We’ve kept our fleet users front and center as we’ve engineered over-the-air enhancements, including dynamic data gathering for predictive diagnostics, improved truck performance and field issue identification. We’ve also deployed new Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features to effectively manage powertrain demand in aggressive route conditions such as mountainous driving.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release references Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures and are presented as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and certain other items determined by the Company. Non-GAAP net loss is defined as net loss adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and certain other items determined by the Company. Non-GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted is defined as non-GAAP net loss divided by weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding. These non-GAAP measures are not substitutes for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative to any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

The Company believes that presenting these non-GAAP measures provides useful supplemental information to investors about the Company in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by its management in financial and operational-decision making. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore any non-GAAP measures the Company uses may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Nikola Chairman Addresses Stockholder Questions on Reverse Split Proposal in Definitive Proxy Statement

Continued focus on regaining Nasdaq compliance and resetting operational and financial foundations to achieve the next level of financial stability while advancing business initiatives

PHOENIX – April 30, 2024 — In a recent social media post, Nikola Corporation (Nasdaq: NKLA), a global leader in zero-emissions transportation and energy supply and infrastructure solutions, via the HYLA brand, invited NKLA stockholders to submit questions related to the Proxy Statement filed earlier in the month. Steven Shindler, Chairman of the Board at Nikola, recorded a video addressing key questions about Proposal 2, which includes a reverse stock split.

The video addresses one of the five proposals to be voted on at the June 5, 2024, Annual Stockholder Meeting. The full video and transcript of the interview can be accessed here.

In the video, Shindler elaborated on the rationale behind Proposal 2 — the recommendation of a reverse split:

“We must eliminate the distraction of delisting and position ourselves to raise capital more efficiently and effectively. We believe that if we can achieve a share price at a more consistent level with the Russell 3000 companies, it will encourage investor interest and improve the marketability of our common stock to an even broader range of investors.”

Among the questions addressed by Shindler were:

  • What is a reverse split and how does it impact NKLA stockholders and the company?
  • Why is a reverse split being proposed now?
  • What are the advantages of a reverse split?

Proposal 2 is up for a vote of stockholders following extensive analysis and consultations with financial advisors to explore options for regaining compliance with Nasdaq listing rules and the need to secure future capital to sustain the company’s business.

NKLA stockholders are encouraged to VOTE IN FAVOR of all five proposals, notably for each of the Nikola nominees for the Board of Directors in Proposal 1, and the anticipated positive impact of the reverse stock split in Proposal 2 in addressing potential delisting concerns and resetting the company’s financial foundation.

Nikola invites NKLA stockholders to continue submitting questions, as ongoing communications are planned to provide answers to those most frequently asked.

For other company updates, please join the Nikola Q1 2024 earnings call on Tuesday, May 7.

Every vote matters. Stockholders must ACTIVELY VOTE by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 4, 2024, for their vote to count. Stockholders as of the close of business on April 19, 2024, are entitled to vote, even if they no longer own the shares.

Joint Statement From Nikola Corporation and EMBR Motors, Inc.

Nikola Corporation (NKLA), EMBR Motors, Inc., Cole Cannon and David “Dave” Sparks are pleased to announce that they have amicably resolved the claims and disputes between them in the lawsuit pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, styled Nikola Corp. v. EMBR Motors, Inc. et al., No. 2:24-cv-00690-DWL.  The lawsuit’s claims against EMBR Motors, Inc. and Messrs. Cannon and Sparks — which claims they deny — are being dismissed with prejudice and without any finding of liability or fault against them. 

After reviewing the plans of Nikola’s current management and Board of Directors, Cole Cannon, David “Dave” Sparks, Paul Southam and Hans Peterson, four of the five individuals who had previously been nominated by M&M Residual, LLC to run as director nominees, decided to stand down and no longer seek election to the Board of Directors at Nikola’s 2024 Annual Meeting.  M&M Residual, the nominating stockholder of the insurgent slate, withdrew its nomination of these individuals and has withdrawn its slate in its entirety.  Cannon, Sparks, Southam and Peterson now support Nikola’s current Board of Directors and their direction for the Company.  Furthermore, EMBR is not engaged in any business with Milton or M&M Residual.

A spokesperson for Nikola commented: “We appreciate the chance to work with the four former candidates and get their input.  We always value creative ideas and are happy to speak to shareholders who care about the Company and its future. We wish EMBR and their owners the best, especially with respect to our shared goals of an electrified vehicle future.”
