Analysis · LOT · Manufacturing
Lotus Technology's full interim report confirms the H1 2026 loss of $150.9 million and, more critically, includes a going concern warning. The company has an accumulated deficit of $3.3 billion and net current liabilities exceeding current assets by $1.7 billion. Management states it will require additional liquidity over the next twelve months and may be unable to access further financing. The filing also details a new $128.3 million convertible note issued to Geely HK in June 2026, maturing in June 2027, and the disposal of two subsidiaries to related parties. The going concern language is the key new disclosure — it formalizes the survival risk that the earlier earnings summary only hinted at.
