LiveWire Group, Inc. filed its annual 10-K, revealing a continued net loss of $75.1 million for 2025, an improvement from $93.9 million in 2024. Despite this reduction in losses, the company explicitly stated it "does not expect to generate positive cash flow from operations over the next twelve months" and "will require additional capital in order to continue to finance its operations and execute its business plan before eventually attaining and maintaining profitable operations," indicating a significant going concern risk. To address liquidity, the company secured a $75.0 million delayed draw term loan from Harley-Davidson, Inc. (H-D) in December 2025, collateralized by substantially all of LiveWire's assets. Additionally, LiveWire utilized its At-The-Market (ATM) program, selling 448,171 shares for $2.2 million in 2025, with $47.8 million remaining capacity. The reliance on related-party financing and further equity dilution underscores the company's challenging financial position, despite ongoing product development efforts like the planned S4 Honcho mini-motos in 2026 and the 2025 launch of an adult e-bike in its STACYC segment. The company also changed its independent registered public accounting firm to KPMG LLP for the 2025 audit.
