LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 8, 2026--

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) (“Faraday Future”, “FF” or the “Company”), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today shared a weekly business update from YT Jia, Founder and Global Co-CEO of FF.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260208761162/en/

“This week, the launch of FF’s EAI Robotics products generated stronger-than-expected engagement. We trended at the top of major platforms across multiple channels. Thank you, sincerely, for following our progress and for your support of FF and me. I believe FF’s operating fundamentals are improving.

That said, in the capital markets, recent broad volatility has driven short-term sentiment swings. FFAI experienced a substantial increase in trading volume and short selling, and our share price experienced abnormal volatility and closed below $1.00 the last two trading days.

Our EAI Robotics strategy has been very well received in the private markets, with overall recognition meaningfully stronger than what we saw in the public market this week. In other words, the feedback from the private market and the public market was completely opposite. I want to reflect on this: we did not communicate and explain the strategy clearly enough to the public, and that information gap led to deeper concerns and even misunderstandings. I’ve seen comments such as: “Are you getting distracted again?” “Is FF no longer focused on vehicles?” or “Is something wrong with the vehicle business?”

The answer to each question is “no.” Our robotics business is an upgrade to our overall EAI strategy and our bridge strategy. It does not distract us from our vehicle business. Rather, we believe it can empower the vehicle business across multiple dimensions, including business execution, capital strategy, financial structure, product, and technology, among others.

Here comes a big teaser, on the same day of the robotics event, we achieved a milestone relating to the Super One. We will announce the full details after market close next Tuesday. Stay tuned.

We firmly believe that with the build-out of our Dual-Bridge, Dual-Flywheel, Dual-Public-Company ecosystem, and with EAI EV and EAI Robotics now both activated, FFAI has undergone a fundamental and systemic upgrade. We are highly confident that this year will be FF’s momentum-building year, and we are going all-in to position FF to take off next year. We firmly oppose any stock split and will be prudent with our equity issuances. We remain committed to putting stockholders first and will do everything we can to safeguard stockholder interests.

We believe that as our business executes, delivers, and makes tangible progress, the strategy will become clearer—and many investors will return to support us. We will do everything we can to create greater value for stockholders.

We will take four major initiatives to protect our stockholders:

1. I affirm once again: FF firmly opposes any reverse stock split, unless required to comply with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards. We remain fully committed to maintaining or timely regaining listing compliance as a public company and delivering value to stockholders, continuing to strengthen our response in the battle against malicious short selling, accelerating FF’s value return, and narrowing the gap between capital market valuation and intrinsic business value—while striving to create even greater breakthroughs. Under Nasdaq regulations, if the closing share price remains below $1 for more than 30 consecutive trading days, a deficiency notice is automatically triggered, and the Company is granted no less than 180 days to regain listing compliance. We firmly believe that our four key initiatives will enable the Company to continuously strengthen its operating fundamentals while maintaining more effective and transparent communication with our stockholders and retail investors, thereby ensuring that reducing the likelihood that the Company does not trigger any Nasdaq compliance issues.

2. From a mid to long-term perspective, the robotics business could serve as a new source of cash inflow and a new growth curve, enabling FFAI stockholders to capture long-term value from the next significant market opportunity, while also potentially providing greater financial flexibility and strategic support for the vehicle business.

3. At the business level, we are accelerating the mutual empowerment between our vehicle and robotics businesses under a “dual-engine EAI framework”. From our perspective, vehicles and robots have evolved into fundamentally similar products—both are EAI terminals. As a result, there’s significant overlap across R&D, sales, and service, allowing the two businesses to generate strong synergies.

The significant progress we have made at the NADA Show has further reinforced our confidence that this is a mutual empowerment rather than one business coming at the expense of the other. On February 5, we successfully hosted a dealer summit for FX Super One and FF EAI robotics. Dozens of automotive dealers from across the United States attended the event and expressed interest in FF’s proprietary FF Par sales model. Multiple dealers have already clearly expressed their intent to enter into comprehensive “robot & vehicle +” cooperation agreements. Notably, many U.S dealers, driven by strong interest in robotics collaboration, have further deepened their engagement with our vehicle business. This is a clear demonstration of how the robotics business can in turn empower the vehicle business, and we believe it serves as one of the strongest validations of our innovative model and differentiated products.

4. We will continue to enhance transparent communication with our stockholders and retail investors, helping the market better understand the unique advantages and intrinsic value of our strategy and business model. At the same time, if you become aware of any potentially illegal short-selling activity, we encourage you to reach out to us immediately.

FX Super One will roll out SOD Phase 1 in Q2. At the same time, our robotics business is set to start deliveries by the end of February, initially targeting high-frequency scenarios with the greatest potential for scale and market impact—such as dealership and showroom reception, as well as home security. The goal is to go deep, make it comprehensive, and establish benchmark use cases.

This year, we will remain fully committed to executing relentlessly on the homologation, initial production, and delivery of FX Super One, as well as sales and deliveries of our robotics products. We will remain focused on strengthening both our operating and capital fundamentals, while going all out to maximize value for our stockholders.”

Faraday Future Founder and Co-CEO YT Jia Shares Weekly Investor Update: Reaffirms FF’s Commitment to Both the Newly Introduced Robotics Business and Existing Vehicle Business, Which Achieved a Milestone Relating to the FX Super One to be Announced Next Tuesday

CHICAGO (AP) — Oscar Cluff scored 21 points, Trey Kaufman-Renn had 20 and No. 18 Purdue topped No. 3 Michigan 80-72 on Sunday for the Big Ten Tournament championship.

Braden Smith had 14 points, 11 assists and three steals as Purdue (27-8) added to an impressive turnaround after closing the regular season with four losses in six games. Fletcher Loyer made three 3-pointers and finished with 14 points.

Purdue won the Big Ten Tournament for the first time since 2023 and third time overall. It lost to Michigan in the final in 1998 and 2018.

The Boilermakers received a No. 2 seed for the NCAA Tournament. They will play Queens on Friday in the first round of the West Region.

Yaxel Lendeborg scored 20 points for top-seeded Michigan (31-3), which beat Purdue 91-80 in their regular-season meeting on Feb. 17. Aday Mara had 17 points, seven rebounds and two blocked shots.

The loss seemingly had no effect on the Wolverines' road for the NCAA tourney. They were awarded the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Region and a Thursday matchup with the winner of the UMBC-Howard game in the First Four.

“We know the month that we have ahead,” Mara said. “We’ve just got to be ready, be better, and feel this right now because it doesn’t feel good, and use it to be better in the tournament.”

Wearing No. 41 after he ripped his No. 3 jersey in frustration early in the game, Smith helped the Boilermakers seize control by deftly running the pick and roll with Kaufman-Renn in the second half. The senior point guard has 1,075 career assists, just one shy of Bobby Hurley’s NCAA record.

Two jumpers by Kaufman-Renn off passes from Smith powered Purdue to a 55-44 lead with 12:55 left. After Elliot Cadeau scored for Michigan, the 6-foot Smith drove inside, drew a foul on the 7-3 Mara and scored, drawing a big cheer from the Purdue fans in the crowd at the United Center.

Smith celebrated by pounding his chest as he walked toward a rollicking Purdue bench. He made the ensuing free throw for a 58-46 lead with 12:06 to go.

The Boilermakers made nine of their first 11 shots in the second half. They shot 15 for 26 in the second half overall.

Cadeau finished with 10 points and 10 assists for Michigan, which won the Big Ten tourney in 2025. Playing in his hometown, Nimari Burnett scored 12 points.

“They earned it,” Michigan coach Dusty May said. “Obviously we weren’t at our best, but obviously Purdue has something to do with that.”

Purdue used a 12-2 run to take a 38-34 lead late in the first half. But Cadeau found Mara for an alley-oop dunk and converted a tying layup in the final seconds.

Purdue has been a top-four seed in its last nine NCAA Tournament appearances.

Michigan is a No. 1 seed for the fourth time in program history. With two more wins, it would return to the United Center for the Sweet 16.
