This prospectus supplement incorporates into the Prospectus the information (other than information that is furnished and not deemed filed) contained in our attached:

We are an “emerging growth company” under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company disclosure requirements for our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our business and investment in our common stock and warrants involve significant risks. These risks are described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Prospectus.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the future financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management of Joby Aviation, Inc. (the “Company,” “Joby,” “we,” “us” or “our”). These statements constitute projections and forecasts and are not guarantees of performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this Quarterly Report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “strive,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this Quarterly Report and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. While we believe these expectations, forecasts, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, our forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Our business, prospects, financial condition, operating results and the price of our common stock may be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those discussed in this Quarterly Report in Part I., Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the section titled “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2022. Any one or more of these factors could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date, and we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

As a result of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, our actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

JOBY AVIATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1. Company and Nature of Business

Description of Business

Joby Aviation, Inc. (“Joby Aviation” or the “Company”) is a vertically integrated air mobility company that is building a clean and quiet, fully electric vertical takeoff and landing (“eVTOL”) aircraft to be used by the Company to deliver air transportation as a service. The Company is headquartered in Santa Cruz, California.

Merger with RTP

On August 10, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Reinvent Technology Partners, a Cayman Islands exempted company and special purpose acquisition company (“RTP”), completed the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of February 23, 2021, by and among RTP, RTP Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of RTP (“RTP Merger Sub”), and Joby Aero, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Joby”). On the Closing Date, RTP was domesticated as a Delaware corporation, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Joby and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased (the “Merger”), and Legacy Joby survived as a wholly owned subsidiary of RTP, which changed its name to Joby Aviation, Inc.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, RTP entered into separate subscription agreements (each a “Subscription Agreement”) with a number of investors (each a “PIPE Investor”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, and RTP agreed to sell to the PIPE Investors, shares of Common Stock (“PIPE Shares”), in a private placement (“PIPE Financing”). The PIPE Financing closed substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Merger.

The Merger, together with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement and the PIPE Financing, are referred to herein as the (“Reverse Recapitalization”). The number of Legacy Joby common shares and redeemable convertible preferred shares for all periods prior to the Closing Date have been retrospectively increased using the exchange ratio that was established in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Please refer to Note 3, “Reverse Recapitalization,” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, that have had a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes have been condensed or omitted in these accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and footnotes. Accordingly, the accompanying interim Consolidated Financial Statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The results of operations presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. In the opinion of management, these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal,

 

9


 

recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of the results of all interim periods reported herein.
 

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. The recorded carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value. At March 31, 2022, restricted cash primarily related to a letter of credit associated with key equipment purchases of approximately $1.0 million and a lease obligation of approximately $0.8 million. At December 31, 2021, restricted cash primarily related to collateral on a lease obligation of approximately $0.8 million.

Investment in SummerBio, LLC

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s management determined that certain previously developed technology that was accessible to the Company could be repurposed and applied in providing high-volume rapid COVID-19 testing through its investment in SummerBio, LLC (“SummerBio”), a related party. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of SummerBio. Therefore it accounts for its investment in SummerBio under the equity method of accounting with an ownership interest of approximately 43.4% as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company recognized $14.5 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, within income from equity method investment on the consolidated statement of operations for its investment in SummerBio.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, which makes improvements related to the following two topics: (1) accounting for certain equity securities when the equity method of accounting is applied or discontinued, and (2) scope considerations related to forward contracts and purchased options on certain securities. The Company adopted this pronouncement in the first quarter of 2022 and the impact of the provisions of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements was immaterial.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. As such the Company is eligible for exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including reduced reporting and extended transition periods to comply with new or revised accounting standards for public business entities. The Company has elected to avail itself of this exemption and, therefore, will not be subject to the timeline for adopting new or revised accounting standards for public business entities that are not emerging growth companies, and will follow the transition guidance applicable to private companies.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, which provides clarification to ASU No. 2016-02. These ASUs require an entity to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset in the balance sheets for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged, while lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance-sheet financing. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which allows entities to elect a modified retrospective transition method where entities may continue to apply the existing lease guidance during the comparative periods and apply the new lease requirements through a cumulative effect adjustment in the period of adoptions rather than in the earliest period presented. The Company is currently evaluating, but has not yet completed, the assessment of the quantitative impact that adopting these ASUs will have on its consolidated financial statements and assessing any changes to its processes and controls. The adoption of these ASUs will result in the recognition of right-of-use assets and the corresponding lease liabilities.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables and available-for-sale debt securities. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, that simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation and modified the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and

 

10


 

interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance also establishes (1) a general contract modification principle that entities can apply in other areas that may be affected by reference rate reform and (2) certain elective hedge accounting expedients. The amendment is effective for all entities through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
Level 2 - Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company’s financial assets consist of Level 1 and 2 assets. The Company classifies its cash equivalents and marketable debt securities within Level 1 or Level 2 because they are valued using either quoted market prices or inputs other than quoted prices which are directly or indirectly observable in the market, including readily-available pricing sources for the identical underlying security which may not be actively traded. The Company’s fixed income available-for-sale securities consist of high quality, investment grade securities from diverse issuers. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the Company’s marketable debt securities were derived from non-binding market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data and quoted market prices for similar instruments.

The Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of Level 2 and Level 3 liabilities. The Company classifies the Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 8) within Level 2, because they were valued using inputs other than quoted prices which are directly observable in the market, including readily available pricing for the Company's Public Warrants (as defined in Note 8). The Company classifies the Earnout Shares Liability (as defined in Note 8) within Level 3. The Earnout Shares Liability is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Changes in fair value of Level 3 liabilities are recorded in other income, net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 6. Leases

Operating Leases

The Company leases various office and research and development facilities under operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through October 2050. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is responsible for certain insurance, property taxes and maintenance expenses. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the operating leases. Any difference between cash payments required and rent expense is recorded as deferred rent. Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Aggregate future minimum lease payments required under the operating leases at March 31, 2022 are as follows (in thousands):

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

The Company is subject to claims and assessments from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Accruals for litigation and contingencies are reflected in the consolidated financial statements based on management’s assessment, including the advice of legal counsel, of the expected outcome of litigation or other dispute resolution proceedings and/or the expected resolution of contingencies. Liabilities for estimated losses are accrued if the potential losses from any claims or legal proceedings are considered probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability of loss and the determination as to whether the amount can be reasonably estimated. Accruals are based only on information available at the time of the assessment due to the uncertain nature of such matters. As additional information becomes available, management reassesses potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its previous estimates, which could materially affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations in a given period. As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company was not involved in any material legal proceedings.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but that have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations. However, the Company may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations.

The Company has indemnified its Board of Directors and officers, to the extent legally permissible, against all liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with any action in which such individual may be involved by reason of such individual being or having been a director or officer, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of the individual. The Company currently has directors’ and officers’ insurance. The Company believes the estimated fair value of these obligations is minimal. The Company did not record any liabilities in connection with these possible obligations as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Note 8. Stock Warrants and Earnout Shares

Private Placement and Public Warrants

In connection with the Merger, each of the 17,250,000 publicly-traded warrants (“Public Warrants”) and 11,533,333 private placement warrants (“Private Placement Warrants” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “Common Stock Warrants”) issued to Reinvent Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) in connection with RTP’s initial public offering and subsequent overallotment were converted into an equal number of warrants that entitle the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of the Merger or earlier upon redemption or the Company’s liquidation. Once the Common Stock Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Common Stock Warrants subject to certain Common Stock price and other conditions as defined in the Warrant Agreement between RTP and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Warrant Agreement”) and the Sponsor Agreement by and among the Company, Reinvent Sponsor, LLC (“Sponsor”) and RTP (“Sponsor Agreement”). During the three months ended March 31, 2022, no Common Stock Warrants were exercised.

The Private Placement Warrants were initially recognized as a liability on August 10, 2021, at a fair value of $21.9 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Private Placement Warrant liability was remeasured to fair value as of March 31, 2022, resulting in a loss of $1.0 million, which is included within the gain from change in the fair value of warrants and earnout shares in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Public Warrants were initially recognized as a liability on August 10, 2021 at a fair value of $32.8 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the public warrant liability was remeasured to fair value based upon the market price as of March 31, 2022, resulting in a loss of $1.6 million, classified within the gain from change in the fair value of warrants and earnout shares in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Earnout Shares Liability

In connection with the Reverse Recapitalization and pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, Sponsor agreed to certain terms of vesting, lock-up and transfer with respect to the 17,130,000 common shares held by it (“Earnout Shares”). The terms of the Sponsor Agreement specify that the Earnout Shares will vest upon achieving certain specified Release Events. In accordance with ASC 815-40, the Earnout Shares are not indexed to the Common Stock and therefore are accounted for as a liability (“Earnout Shares Liability”) as of the Closing Date and subsequently remeasured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Under the vesting schedule, 20% of the Earnout Shares vest in tranches when the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock quoted on the NYSE is greater than $12.00, $18.00, $24.00, $32.00 and $50.00 for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 trading days (each such occurrence a “Triggering Event”). After 10 years following the consummation of the Merger (the “Earnout Period”), any Earnout Shares which have not yet vested are forfeited. No Earnout Shares vested as of March 31, 2022.

Earnout Shares Liability at the closing of the Merger on August 10, 2021, was $149.9 million based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model using a distribution of potential outcomes on a monthly basis over the Earnout Period using the most reliable information available.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized a gain related to the change in the fair value of the Earnout Shares Liability of $19.4 million, included within the gain from change in fair value of warrants and earnout shares in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Note 9. Stock-based Compensation

2016 and 2021 Stock Plans

In November 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2016 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the “2016 Plan”) under which officers, employees, directors, consultants and other key persons of the Company or its affiliates may be granted incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units. Immediately prior to the Closing Date on August 10, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors amended the 2016 Plan provide that no new awards could be granted under the 2016 Plan.

On August 10, 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”). Under the 2021 Plan, the Company can grant incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards to employees, directors and consultants. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning on January 1, 2022, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) a number of shares equal to four percent (4%) of the total number of shares of all classes of common stock of the Company outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) such number of shares determined by the Company's Board of Directors. On January 1, 2022, the number of shares available for issuance under 2021 plan increased by 24,167,201 shares.

On August 10, 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2021 ESPP”). Under the 2021 ESPP, participating employees may be offered the option to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price which equals 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the enrollment date or on the exercise date, whichever is lower. The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2021 ESPP will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2022, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) a number of shares of common stock equal to half percent (0.5%) of the total number of shares of all classes of common stock of the Company on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) such number of shares determined by the Company's Board of Directors. On January 1, 2022, the number

 

17


 

of shares available for issuance under 2021 ESPP increased by 3,020,900 shares. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has not yet implemented the 2021 ESPP and no shares had been issued under the 2021 ESPP.

On December 16th, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved a performance-based bonus program with payout based on five goals with sub-milestones to achieve in year 2022 ("2022 Bonus Plan"). Each milestone goal achievement will result in RSU grants, when grants are approved by the Company's Board of Directors, with the vesting period from the grant dates to January 1, 2023. Total opportunity for the bonus is to earn RSU with fair value of 30% of employees' base salary as of the date of the grants, with stretch bonus goals achievement increasing it to 40%.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $7.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 in relation to 2022 Bonus Plan. The Company will consider probability of achieving of each of the performance goals at the end of each reporting period and will recognize expense over the requisite period when the goal achievement is probable, reversing or re-accruing expense if goal achievement becomes not probable or probable again. Accordingly, this expense will be classified as a liability until such time that the respective milestones have been met, at which point the liability will be reclassified to equity. If it is determined that the milestone cannot be met, the liability will be reversed.

Shares subject to repurchase

The Company allows certain option holders to exercise unvested options and stock purchase rights to purchase shares of common stock. Common shares received from such early exercises are subject to a right of repurchase at the original issuance price. The Company’s repurchase right with respect to these shares typically lapse over six years as the shares become vested. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 6,266,063 and 6,918,483 shares, respectively, were subject to repurchase at a weighted average price of $0.09 per share and $0.10 per share, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, was recorded within the stock repurchase liability in early exercised stock option liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In addition, upon completion of the Reverse Recapitalization 2,677,200 Series C Preferred shares which were subject to time-based vesting conditions were converted to restricted common shares. As of March 31, 2022, the number of such shares that were subject to repurchase was 2,342,552.

In addition, the Company entered into certain transactions with SummerBio. These transactions included purchases of COVID-19 testing services for its employees for the total amount of $0.6 million and $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Total amount due to SummerBio was $0.2 million and $0.1 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Note 11. Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Because the Company reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the number of shares used to calculate diluted net loss per common share is the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic net loss per common share for those periods presented because the potentially dilutive shares would have been antidilutive if included in the calculation.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis provides information that our management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion and analysis includes forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see the section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

We have spent more than a decade designing and testing a piloted all-electric aircraft that can take off and land vertically, while cruising like a traditional airplane. The aircraft is quiet when taking off, near silent when flying overhead and is designed to transport a pilot and four passengers at speeds of up to 200 mph, with a maximum range of 150 miles on a single charge. The low noise enabled by the all-electric powertrain will allow the aircraft to operate around dense, urban areas while blending into the background noise of cities. With more than 1,000 successful test flights already completed, and as the first eVTOL aircraft developer to receive a signed, stage 4 G-1 certification basis to date, we believe our aircraft will be the first of its kind to earn airworthiness certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”).

We do not intend to sell these aircraft to third parties or individual consumers. Instead, we plan to manufacture, own and operate our aircraft, building a vertically integrated transportation company that will deliver a convenient app-based aerial ridesharing service directly to end-users, with a goal to begin commercial passenger service in 2024. We believe this business model will generate the greatest economic returns, while providing us with end-to-end control over the customer experience to optimize for customer safety, comfort and value.

Since our inception in 2009, we have been primarily engaged in research and development of eVTOL aircraft. We have incurred net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations in every year since our inception. As of March 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $538.9 million. We have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the issuance of redeemable convertible preferred stock and the proceeds from the merger described below.

The Merger

We entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) on February 23, 2021, with Reinvent Technology Partners, a special purpose acquisition company (“RTP”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on August 10, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Joby Aero, Inc. (“Legacy Joby”) was merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of RTP (the “Merger”). Legacy Joby survived as a wholly-owned subsidiary of RTP, which was renamed Joby Aviation, Inc. (“Joby Aviation”).

The Merger is accounted for as a reverse capitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, RTP is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of Joby Aviation represent a continuation of the financial statements of Legacy Joby, with the Merger being treated as the equivalent of Joby Aviation issuing stock for the net assets of RTP, accompanied by a recapitalization. Legacy Joby operations prior to the Merger are presented as those of Joby Aviation. The Merger, which raised $1,067.9 million, has significantly impacted our capital structure and operating results, supporting our product development, manufacturing and commercialization.

As a result of becoming a reporting company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and NYSE-listed company, we have and will continue to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We expect to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees, and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources.

All shares and per share amounts of Legacy Joby for all presented periods have been retrospectively adjusted using the exchange ratio that was established in accordance with the Merger Agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”).

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

For a more comprehensive discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could impact the Company's business, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Development of the Urban Air Mobility (“UAM”) market

Our revenue will be directly tied to the continued development of short distance aerial transportation. While we believe the market for UAM will be large, it remains undeveloped and there is no guarantee of future demand. We anticipate commercialization of our service beginning in 2024, and our business will require significant investment leading up to launching passenger services, including,

 

20


 

but not limited to, final engineering designs, prototyping and testing, manufacturing, software development, certification, pilot training, infrastructure and commercialization.

We believe one of the primary drivers for adoption of our aerial ridesharing service is the value proposition and time savings offered by aerial mobility relative to traditional ground-based transportation. Additional factors impacting the pace of adoption of our aerial ridesharing service include but are not limited to: perceptions about eVTOL quality, safety, performance and cost; perceptions about the limited range over which eVTOL may be flown on a single battery charge; volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline; availability of competing forms of transportation, such as ground or air taxi or ride-hailing services; the development of adequate infrastructure; consumers’ perception about the safety convenience and cost of transportation using eVTOL relative to ground-based alternatives; and increases in fuel efficiency, autonomy, or electrification of cars. In addition, macroeconomic factors could impact demand for UAM services, particularly if end-user pricing is at a premium to ground-based transportation alternatives or more permanent work-from-home behaviors persist following the COVID pandemic. We anticipate initial operations in selected high-density metropolitan areas where traffic congestion is particularly acute and operating conditions are suitable for early eVTOL operations. If the market for UAM does not develop as expected, this would impact our ability to generate revenue or grow our business.

Competition

We believe that the primary sources of competition for our service are ground-based mobility solutions, other eVTOL developers/operators and local/regional incumbent aircraft charter services. While we expect to be first to market with an eVTOL facilitated aerial ridesharing service, we expect this industry to be dynamic and increasingly competitive; it is possible that our competitors could get to market before us, either generally or in specific markets. Even if we are first to market, we may not fully realize the benefits we anticipate, and we may not receive any competitive advantage or may be overtaken by other competitors. If new or existing aerospace companies launch competing solutions in the markets in which we intend to operate and obtain large-scale capital investment, we may face increased competition. Additionally, our competitors may benefit from our efforts in developing consumer and community acceptance for eVTOL aircraft and aerial ridesharing, making it easier for them to obtain the permits and authorizations required to operate an aerial ridesharing service in the markets in which we intend to launch or in other markets. In the event we do not capture the first mover advantage that we anticipate, it may harm our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. For a more comprehensive discussion, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Government Certification

We agreed to a signed, stage 4 “G-1” certification basis for our aircraft with the FAA in 2020. This agreement lays out the specific requirements that need to be met by our aircraft for it to be certified for commercial operations. Reaching this milestone marks a key step on the way towards certifying any new aircraft in the U.S. Our aircraft was originally intended to be certified in line with the FAA’s existing Part 23 requirements for Normal Category Airplanes, with special conditions introduced to address requirements specific to our unique aircraft. In May 2022, the FAA indicated that they were revisiting the decision to certify all eVTOLs under Part 23 and may, instead, require certification under the “powered lift” classification. The FAA indicated that they did not expect this change to affect current certification timelines. In addition to certifying our aircraft, we will also need to obtain authorizations and certifications related to the production of our aircraft and the deployment of our aerial ridesharing service. While we anticipate being able to meet the requirements of such authorizations and certifications, we may be unable to obtain such authorizations and certifications, or to do so on the timeline we project. Should we fail to obtain any of the required authorizations or certifications, or do so in a timely manner, or any of these authorizations or certifications are modified, suspended or revoked after we obtain them, we may be unable to launch our commercial service or do so on the timelines we project, which would have adverse effects on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.

Agility Prime

In December 2020, we became, to the best of our knowledge, the first company to receive airworthiness approval for an eVTOL aircraft from the U.S. Air Force, and in the first quarter of 2021, we officially began on-base operations under contract pursuant to the U.S. Air Force’s Agility Prime program. Our multi-year relationship with the U.S. Air Force and other U.S. Government agencies provides us with a compelling opportunity to more thoroughly understand the operational capabilities and maintenance profiles of our aircraft in advance of commercial launch. In addition to the operational learnings, our existing contracts also provide for more than $40 million of payments through 2024 based upon full performance, and we are actively pursuing additional contracts and relationships that would further secure these on-base operations going forward. Our U.S. government contracting party may modify, curtail or terminate its contracts with us without prior notice and either at its convenience or for default based on performance, or may decline to accept performance or exercise subsequent option years. We may also be unable to secure additional contracts or continue to grow our relationship with the U.S. government and/or Department of Defense.

Impact of COVID-19

The impact of COVID-19, including changes in consumer and business behavior, pandemic fears and market downturns, and restrictions on business and individual activities, has created significant volatility in the global economy and led to reduced economic activity. The spread of COVID-19, as well as the emergence of variants, has also created disruptions in the manufacturing, delivery and overall supply chain for manufacturers and suppliers, and has led to a decrease in the need of transportation services around the world.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have modified our business practices (including employee travel, recommending that all non-essential personnel work from home and cancellation or reduction of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences) and implemented additional safety protocols for essential workers. We may take further actions, or modify our COVID-19 related business practices, as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers, vendors and business partners. While the ultimate duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted, such as the extent and effectiveness of containment actions, the emergence of variants, and vaccine efficacy and uptake, it has already had an adverse effect on the global economy and the ultimate societal and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the ultimate impact on our business, remains unknown.

Fully-Integrated Business Model

Our business model is to serve as a fully-integrated eVTOL transportation service provider. Present projections indicate that payback periods on aircraft will result in a viable business model over the long-term as production volumes scale and unit economics improve to support sufficient market adoption. As with any new industry and business model, numerous risks and uncertainties exist. Our projections are dependent on certifying and delivering aircraft on time and at a cost that will allow us to offer our service at prices that a sufficient number of customers will be willing to pay for the time and efficiency savings they receive from utilizing our eVTOL services. Our aircraft include numerous parts and manufacturing processes unique to eVTOL aircraft, in general, and our product design, in particular. We have used our best efforts to estimate costs in our planning projections; however, the variable cost associated with assembling our aircraft at scale remains uncertain at this stage of development. The success of our business also is dependent, in part, on the utilization rate of our aircraft and reductions in utilization will adversely impact our financial performance. Our aircraft may not be able to fly safely in poor weather conditions, including snowstorms, thunderstorms, high winds, lightning, hail, known icing conditions and/or fog. Our inability to operate safely in these conditions will reduce our aircraft utilization and cause delays and disruptions in our services. We intend to maintain a high daily aircraft utilization rate which is the amount of time our aircraft spend in the air carrying passengers. High daily aircraft utilization is achieved in part by reducing turnaround times at skyports. Aircraft utilization is reduced by delays and cancellations from various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including adverse weather conditions, security requirements, air traffic congestion and unscheduled maintenance events.

Components of Results of Operations

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, costs of consulting, equipment and materials, depreciation and amortization and allocations of overhead, including rent, information technology costs and utilities. Research and development expenses are partially offset by payments we received in the form of government grants, including those received under the Agility Prime program.

We expect our research and development expenses to increase as we increase staffing to support aircraft engineering and software development, build aircraft prototypes, and continue to explore and develop next generation aircraft and technologies.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, related to executive management, finance, legal, and human resource functions. Other costs include business development, contractor and professional services fees, audit and compliance expenses, insurance costs and general corporate expenses, including allocated depreciation, rent, information technology costs and utilities.

We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase as we hire additional personnel and consultants to support our commercialization efforts and comply with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”) and other SEC rules and regulations.

Investment in SummerBio, LLC

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, our management determined that certain previously developed technology that was accessible to us could be repurposed and applied to providing high-volume, rapid COVID-19 diagnostic testing. To enable the development and deployment of this technology, in May 2020, SummerBio, LLC (“SummerBio”) was established. SummerBio was 100% beneficially owned by us, and a fully consolidated subsidiary until August 24, 2020.

On August 24, 2020, SummerBio raised additional financing through issuing equity instruments to other investors and changed the structure of its board of directors, as a result of which we concluded that on August 24, 2020 we no longer had a controlling interest in SummerBio. We concluded that our retained interest in SummerBio should be accounted for under the equity method. Accordingly, we deconsolidated SummerBio, recognized our remaining investment in SummerBio as an equity investment at a fair value of $5.2 million, derecognized net liabilities of SummerBio of $1.7 million and recognized a gain on deconsolidation of $6.9 million, which is included in other income on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. In December 2021, we recorded a $1.0 million reduction to our investment in SummerBio due to increase in SummerBio employees' stock based awards, which diluted Company's equity interest in SummerBio. We recognized our share of earnings of SummerBio, net of dilution reduction, as income from equity method investment on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the total amount of $14.5 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Gain from changes in fair value of Warrants and Earnout Shares Liabilities

Publicly-traded warrants (“Public Warrants”), and private placement warrants issued to RTP (“Private Placement Warrants”) and Earnout Shares are recorded as liabilities and subject to remeasurement to fair value at each balance sheet date. We expect to incur an incremental income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the fair value adjustments for these outstanding liabilities at the end of each reporting period.

2021 Acquisitions

On January 11, 2021, the Company entered into certain agreements with Uber Technologies, Inc. (“Uber”), under which it acquired Uber Elevate, Inc (“Uber Elevate”), a portion of Uber's business dedicated to development of aerial ridesharing. In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued Uber a Convertible Promissory Note (“Uber CPN”) and entered into a collaboration agreement (the “Uber Agreement”).

On December 21, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of an entity engaged in the development of radar systems technology with application in the aviation and other sectors, whereby it acquired all the outstanding shares of the entity in exchange for a total consideration consisting of (i) $2.8 million in cash, and (ii) 340,000 restricted stock units of Joby Aviation common stock with the aggregate acquisition date fair value of $2.4 million. The purchase consideration of $2.8 million was allocated to $1.7 million of the acquired intangible assets, primarily developed technology, $1.2 million of the acquired current assets, primarily cash and account receivables, and $0.1 million of the acquired current liabilities.

2022 Acquisition

On March 9, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of an aerospace composite manufacturing company, whereby it acquired all the purchased assets and assumed selected liabilities in exchange for a total consideration consisting of (i) $1.5 million in cash, and (ii) restricted stock units of Joby Aviation common stock with the aggregate acquisition date fair value of $0.1 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination as the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constituted a business in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations. The purchase consideration of $1.5 million was allocated to the following: a $1.1 million in favorable leased assets, $0.4 million of acquired machinery and equipment, $0.1 million of acquired current assets, and $0.1 million of acquired current liabilities.

Interest and Other Income

Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of the interest on our convertible notes, equipment finance leases and tenant improvement loans. Interest on convertible notes relates to Legacy Joby Series C redeemable convertible preferred notes issued to Uber in January 2021. Upon closing of the Merger, the unpaid principal amount of $75.0 million plus accrued and unpaid interest in the amount of $2.2 million was converted into 7,716,780 shares of common stock of Joby Aviation.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes consists of an estimate of federal, state, and foreign income taxes based on enacted federal, state, and foreign tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in tax law. Due to the level of historical losses, we maintain a valuation allowance against U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets as it has been concluded it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development increased by $37.9 million, or 111%, to $72.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $34.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in personnel to support aircraft engineering, software development, manufacturing process development, and certification, as well as increased quantity of materials used in prototype development and testing. These increases were partially offset by government research and development grants earned through increased operations as part of our Department of Defense contracts.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $10.6 million, or 91%, to $22.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $11.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to increased headcount to support operations growth, including IT, legal, facilities, HR, and finance, as well as an increase in insurance cost and professional services cost related to legal, accounting and recruiting support.

Total Other Income, Net

Total other income, net increased by $27.7 million, or 640%, to $32.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $4.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a $16.8 million gain from changes in fair value of warrants and earnout shares and a $9.7 million increase in income from equity method investment in SummerBio and a $0.8 million decrease in interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

We have incurred net losses and negative operating cash flows from operations since inception, and we expect to continue to incur losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future until we successfully commence sustainable commercial operations. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the Merger and issuance of redeemable convertible preferred stock and convertible notes. From inception through March 31, 2022, we raised net proceeds of $1,067.9 million from the Merger and $843.3 million from the issuances of Legacy Joby's redeemable convertible preferred stock and convertible notes. As of March 31, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $418.8 million and short-term investment in marketable securities of $803.7 million. Restricted cash, totaling $1.7 million, reflects a security deposit on leased facilities and a letter of credit for a new vendor. We believe that our cash on hand will satisfy our working capital and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Long-Term Liquidity Requirements

We expect our cash and cash equivalents on hand together with the cash we expect to generate from future operations will provide sufficient funding to support us through to initial commercialization. Until we generate sufficient operating cash flow to fully cover our operating expenses, working capital needs and planned capital expenditures, or if circumstances evolve differently than anticipated, we expect to utilize a combination of equity and debt financing to fund any future remaining capital needs. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to stockholders may result. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of holders of common stock. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities would have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of preferred and common stockholders. The terms of debt securities or borrowings could impose significant restrictions on our operations. The capital markets have in the past, and may in the future, experience periods of upheaval that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing.

Our principal uses of cash in recent periods were to fund our research and development activities, personnel cost and support services. Near-term cash requirements will also include spending on manufacturing facilities, ramping up production and supporting production certification, scaled manufacturing operations for commercialization, infrastructure and skyport development, pilot training facilities, software development and production of aircraft. We do not have material cash requirements related to current contractual obligations. As such, our cash requirements are highly dependent upon management’s decisions about the pace and focus of both our short and long-term spending.

Cash requirements can fluctuate based on business decisions that could accelerate or defer spending, including the timing or pace of investments, infrastructure and production of aircraft. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, the timing and the amount of cash received from our customers, the expansion of sales and marketing activities and the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts. In the future, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, and technologies, which could require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that we require additional financing we may not be able to raise such financing on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to continue our research and development and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial

condition. If adequate funds are not available, we may need to reconsider our investments in production operations, the pace of our production ramp-up, infrastructure investments in skyports, expansion plans or limit our research and development activities, which could have a material adverse impact on our business prospects and results of operations.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $61.4 million, consisting primarily of a net loss of $62.3 million, adjusted for non-cash items and statement of operations impact from investing and financing activities which includes $19.4 million stock-based compensation expense, $5.2 million depreciation and amortization expense, $0.8 million net accretion and amortization of our investments in marketable securities and a net decrease in our net working capital of $6.7 million, primarily related to distribution from equity method investment, partially offset by a $16.8 million gain from change in the fair value of warrants and earnout shares and $14.5 million in income from equity method investment.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $29.7 million, consisting primarily of a net loss of $41.5 million, which included a $3.3 million depreciation and amortization expense, $4.8 million stock-based compensation expense, $0.8 million non-cash interest expense, $1.4 million income from equity method investment, $1.6 million net accretion and amortization of our investments in marketable securities and a decrease in our net working capital of $0.9 million, reflecting primarily lower receivables.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to purchases of marketable securities of $571.9 million, purchases of property and equipment of $10.8 million and acquisition of business of $1.5 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sales of marketable securities of $34.5 million and proceeds from maturities of marketable securities of $73.6 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to purchases of marketable securities of $169.7 million and purchases of property and equipment of $5.1 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sales of marketable securities of $26.8 million and proceeds from maturities of marketable securities of $142.1 million.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to proceeds from exercise of stock options and issuance common stock warrants of $0.4 million, partially offset by repayment of tenant improvement loan and capital lease obligation of $0.3 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to proceeds from issuance of the convertible note to Uber for a net amount of $75.0 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material.

 

26


 

The accounting policies of the Company are the same as those set forth in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Emerging Growth Company Accounting Election

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. RTP was an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act and had elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period,

We plan to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public business entities and non-public business entities until the earlier of the date we (a) are no longer an emerging growth company and (b) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare our financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

In addition, we intend to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an emerging growth company, we intend to rely on such exemptions, we are not required to, among other things: (a) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act: (b) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (c) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the condensed consolidated financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (d) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates applicable to our short-term investments. We had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments in short-term marketable securities totaling $1,222.6 million as of March 31, 2022. Cash equivalents and short-term investments were invested primarily in money market funds, U.S. treasury bills and government and corporate bonds. Our investment policy is focused on the preservation of capital and supporting its liquidity needs. Under the policy, we invest in highly rated securities, issued by the U.S. government and corporations or liquid money market funds. We do not invest in financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor do we use leveraged financial instruments. We utilize external investment managers who adhere to the guidelines of their investment policies. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a material impact on the value of our cash, cash equivalents or short-term investments or our interest income.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are not exposed to significant foreign currency risks related to our operating expenses as our foreign operations are not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness relates to the lack of a sufficient full-time accounting personnel with deep technical accounting knowledge to execute, review and approve all aspects of the financial statement close and reporting process.

We have implemented and are in the process of implementing additional measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting to remediate this material weakness. Specifically, we implemented additional review procedures and hired additional staff within our accounting and finance department, and, as appropriate, we are engaging external accounting experts to supplement our internal resources. However, we cannot assure you the measures we have taken to date, and are continuing to implement, will be sufficient to remediate the material weakness we have identified or avoid potential future material weaknesses. While we believe that our efforts have improved our internal control over financial reporting, remediation of the material weakness will require further validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles. This material weakness may not allow for us to have proper segregation of duties and the ability to close our books and records and report our results, including required disclosures, on a timely basis, until it is fully remediated.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, believe that the condensed financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the fiscal period presented in conformity with GAAP.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, other than the continuing implementation of remediation measures described above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

25 | P a g e

 

 


 

AGREEMENT NUMBER FA8614-22-9-0003

case, under such conditions as to establish that the invention is being utilized and that its benefits are, to the extent permitted by law or Government regulations, available to the public on reasonable terms.

 

Subject invention means any invention of the Performer made in the performance of work under this agreement.

 

(b)
Performer’s rights.

 

(1)
Ownership. The Performer may retain ownership of each subject invention throughout the world in accordance with the provisions of this clause.

 

(2)
License.

 

(i)
The Performer shall retain a nonexclusive royalty-free license throughout the world in each subject invention to which the Government obtains title, unless the Performer fails to disclose the invention within the times specified in paragraph (c) of this clause. The Performer’s license extends to any domestic subsidiaries and affiliates within the corporate structure of which the Performer is a part, and includes the right to grant sublicenses to the extent the Performer was legally obligated to do so at agreement award.. The license is transferable only with the written approval of the agency, except when transferred to the successor of that part of the Performer’s business to which the invention pertains.

 

(ii)
The Performer’s license may be revoked or modified by the agency to the extent necessary to achieve expeditious practical application of the subject invention in a particular country in accordance with the procedures in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) below.

 

(a )In response to a third party’s proper application for an exclusive license, the contractor’s domestic license may be revoked or modified to the extent necessary to achieve expeditious practical application of the subject invention. The application shall be submitted in accordance with the applicable provisions in 37 CFR part 404 and agency licensing regulations. The contractor’s license will not be revoked in that field of use or the geographical areas in which the contractor has achieved practical application and continues to make the benefits of the subject invention reasonably accessible to the public. The license in any foreign country may be revoked or modified to the extent the contractor, its licensees, or its domestic subsidiaries or affiliates have failed to achieve practical application in that country.

 

(b)
Before revoking or modifying the performer’s license in accordance with paragraph

(a) above, the agreement officer shall furnish the performer a written notice of intention to revoke or modify the license. The agency shall allow the performer at least 30 days after the notice to show cause why the license should not be revoked or modified. The Performer has the right to appeal, in accordance with applicable regulations in 37 CFR part 404 and agency licensing regulations, any decisions concerning the revocation or modification.

 

(c)
Performer’s obligations.

 

(1)
The Performer shall disclose in writing each subject invention to the Agreement Officer within two (2) months after the inventor discloses it in writing to Performer personnel responsible

 

26 | P a g e

 

 


 

AGREEMENT NUMBER FA8614-22-9-0003

for patent matters. The disclosure shall identify the inventor(s) and this agreement under which the subject invention was made. It shall be sufficiently complete in technical detail to convey a clear understanding of the subject invention. The disclosure shall also identify any publication, on sale (i.e., sale or offer for sale), or public use of the subject invention, or whether a manuscript describing the subject invention has been submitted for publication and, if so, whether it has been accepted for publication. In addition, after disclosure to the agency, the Performer shall promptly notify the Agreement Officer of the acceptance of any manuscript describing the subject invention for publication and any on sale or public use.

 

(2)
The Performer shall elect in writing whether or not to retain ownership of any subject invention by notifying the Agreement Officer within 2 years of disclosure to the agency. However, in any case where publication, on sale, or public use has initiated the 1-year statutory period during which valid patent protection can be obtained in the United States, the period for election of title may be shortened by the agency to a date that is no more than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the statutory period.

 

(3)
The Performer shall file either a provisional or a nonprovisional patent application or a Plant Variety Protection Application on an elected subject invention within 1 year after election. However, in any case where a publication, on sale, or public use has initiated the 1-year statutory period during which valid patent protection can be obtained in the United States, the Performer shall file the application prior to the end of that statutory period. If the Performer files a provisional application, it shall file a nonprovisional application within 10 months of the filing of the provisional application. The Performer shall file patent applications in additional countries or international patent offices within either 10 months of the first filed patent application (whether provisional or nonprovisional) or 6 months from the date permission is granted by the Commissioner of Patents to file foreign patent applications where such filing has been prohibited by a Secrecy Order.

 

(4)
The Performer may request extensions of time for disclosure, election, or filing under paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3) of this article.

 

(f)
Government’s rights-

 

(1)
Ownership. The Performer shall assign to the agency, on written request, title to any subject invention-

 

(i)
If the Performer fails to disclose or elect ownership to the subject invention within the times specified in paragraph (c) of this article, or elects not to retain ownership; provided, that the agency may request title only within 60 days after learning of the Performer's failure to disclose or elect within the specified times.

 

(ii)
In those countries in which the Performer fails to file patent applications within the times specified in paragraph (c) of this article; provided, however, that if the Performer has filed a patent application in a country after the times specified in paragraph (c) of this article, but prior to its receipt of the written request of the agency, the Performer shall continue to retain ownership in that country.

 

(iii)
In any country in which the Performer decides not to continue the prosecution of any application for, to pay the maintenance fees on, or defend in reexamination or opposition proceeding on, a patent on a subject invention.

 

27 | P a g e

 

 


 

AGREEMENT NUMBER FA8614-22-9-0003

(2)
License. If the Performer retains ownership of any subject invention, the Government shall have a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice, or have practiced for or on its behalf, the subject invention throughout the world.

 

(g)
Performer action to protect the Government’s interest.

 

(1)
The Performer shall execute or have executed and promptly deliver to the agency all instruments necessary to-

 

(i)
Establish or confirm the rights the Government has throughout the world in those subject inventions in which the Performer elects to retain ownership; and

 

(ii)
Assign title to the agency when requested under paragraph (d) of this article and to enable the Government to obtain patent protection and plant variety protection for that subject invention in any country.

 

(2)
The Performer shall require, by written agreement, its employees, other than clerical and nontechnical employees, to disclose promptly in writing to personnel identified as responsible for the administration of patent matters and in the Performer's format, each subject invention in order that the Performer can comply with the disclosure provisions of paragraph (c) of this article, and to execute all papers necessary to file patent applications on subject inventions and to establish the Government's rights in the subject inventions. The disclosure format should require, as a minimum, the information required by paragraph (c)(1) of this article. The Performer shall instruct such employees, through employee agreements or other suitable educational programs, as to the importance of reporting inventions in sufficient time to permit the filing of patent applications prior to U.S. or foreign statutory bars.

 

(3)
The Performer shall notify the Agreement Officer of any decisions not to file a nonprovisional patent application, continue the prosecution of a patent application, pay maintenance fees, or defend in a reexamination or opposition proceeding on a patent, in any country, not less than 30 days before the expiration of the response or filing period required by the relevant patent office.

 

(4)
The Performer shall include, within the specification of any United States nonprovisional patent or plant variety protection application and any patent or plant variety protection certificate issuing thereon covering a subject invention, the following statement, “This invention was made with Government support under (identify the agreement) awarded by (identify the agency). The Government has certain rights in the invention.”

 

(h)
Reporting on utilization of subject inventions. The Performer shall deliver, on request, periodic reports no more frequently than annually on the utilization of a subject invention or on efforts at obtaining utilization of the subject invention that are being made by the Performer or its licensees or assignees. The reports shall include information regarding the status of development, date of first commercial sale or use, gross royalties received by the Performer, and other data and information as the agency may reasonably specify. The Performer also shall provide additional reports as may be requested by the agency in connection with any march-in proceeding undertaken by the agency in accordance with paragraph (h) of this article. The Performer also shall mark any utilization report as confidential/proprietary to help prevent inadvertent release outside the Government. As required

by 35 U.S.C. 202(c)(5), the agency will not disclose that information to persons outside the Government without the Performer’s permission.

 

28 | P a g e

 

 


 

AGREEMENT NUMBER FA8614-22-9-0003

(g)
Preference for United States industry. Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, neither the Performer nor any assignee shall grant to any person the exclusive right to use or sell any subject invention in the United States unless the person agrees that any products embodying the subject invention or produced through the use of the subject invention will be manufactured substantially in the United States. However, in individual cases, the requirement for an agreement may be waived by the agency upon a showing by the Performer or its assignee that reasonable but unsuccessful efforts have been made to grant licenses on similar terms to potential licensees that would be likely to manufacture substantially in the United States, or that under the circumstances domestic manufacture is not commercially feasible.

 

(h)
March-in rights. The Performer acknowledges that, with respect to any subject invention in which it has retained ownership, the agency has the right to require licensing pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 203 and 210(c), and in accordance with the procedures in 37 CFR 401.6 and any supplemental regulations of the agency in effect on the date of agreement award.

 

(i)
Special provisions for agreements with nonprofit organizations. If the Performer is a nonprofit organization, it shall-

 

(1)
Not assign rights to a subject invention in the United States without the written approval of the agency, except where an assignment is made to an organization that has as one of its primary functions the management of inventions, provided, that the assignee shall be subject to the same provisions as the Performer;

 

(2)
Share royalties collected on a subject invention with the inventor, including Federal employee co-inventors (but through their agency if the agency deems it appropriate) when the subject invention is assigned in accordance with 35U.S.C.202(e) and 37 CFR 401.10;

 

(3)
Use the balance of any royalties or income earned by the Performer with respect to subject inventions, after payment of expenses (including payments to inventors) incidental to the administration of subject inventions for the support of scientific research or education; and

 

(4)
Make efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to attract licensees of subject inventions that are small business concerns, and give a preference to a small business concern when licensing a subject invention if the Performer determines that the small business concern has a plan or proposal for marketing the invention which, if executed, is equally as likely to bring the invention to practical application as any plans or proposals from applicants that are not small business concerns; provided, that the Performer is also satisfied that the small business concern has the capability and resources to carry out its plan or proposal. The decision whether to give a preference in any specific case will be at the discretion of the Performer.

 

(5)
Allow the Secretary of Commerce to review the Performer’s licensing program and decisions regarding small business applicants, and negotiate changes to its licensing policies, procedures, or practices with the Secretary of Commerce when the Secretary’s review discloses that the Performer could take reasonable steps to more effectively implement the requirements of paragraph (i)(4) of this article.

 

(j)
Communications. TBD

 

(k)
Subcontracts.

 

29 | P a g e

 

 


 

AGREEMENT NUMBER FA8614-22-9-0003

(1)
The Performer shall include the substance of this article, including this paragraph (k), in all subcontracts for experimental, developmental, or research work to be performed by a small business concern or nonprofit organization.

 

(2)
The Performer shall include in all other subcontracts for experimental, developmental, or research work the substance of the patent rights clause required by this article VII.

 

(3)
At all tiers, the patent rights article must be modified to identify the parties as follows: references to the Government are not changed, and the subcontractor has all rights and obligations of the Performer in the article. The Performer shall not, as part of the consideration for awarding the subcontract, obtain rights in the subcontractor’s subject inventions.

 

(4)
In subcontracts, at any tier, the agency, the subcontractor, and the Performer agree that the mutual obligations of the parties created by this article constitute a contract between the subcontractor and the agency with respect to the matters covered by the article; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph is intended to confer any jurisdiction under the Disputes statute in connection with proceedings under paragraph (h) of this article.

 

(m)
Background IP. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Performer exclusively retains all right, title, and interest in and to Background IP, and no license is granted thereto except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

AGREEMENT NUMBER FA8614-22-9-0003

(1)
Unjustified markings. The rights and obligations of the parties regarding the validation of restrictive markings on technical data or computer software furnished or to be furnished under this agreement are contained in the Validation of Restrictive Markings on Technical Data and the Validation of Asserted Restrictions - Computer Software articles of this agreement, respectively. Notwithstanding any provision of this agreement concerning inspection and acceptance, the Government may ignore or, at the Contractor's expense, correct or strike a marking if, in accordance with the applicable procedures of those articles, a restrictive marking is determined to be unjustified.

 

(2)
Nonconforming markings. A nonconforming marking is a marking placed on technical data or computer software delivered or otherwise furnished to the Government under this agreement that is not in the format authorized by this agreement. Correction of nonconforming markings is not subject to the Validation of Restrictive Markings on Technical Data or the Validation of Asserted Restrictions - Computer Software article of this agreement. If the Contracting/Agreement Officer notifies the Contractor of a nonconforming marking or markings and the Contractor fails to remove or correct such markings within sixty (60) days, the Government may ignore or, at the Contractor's expense, remove or correct any nonconforming markings.

 

(k)
Relation to patents. Nothing contained in this article shall imply a license to the Government under any patent or be construed as affecting the scope of any license or other right otherwise granted to the Government under any patent.

 

(l)
Limitation on charges for rights in technical data or computer software.

 

(1)
The Contractor shall not charge to this agreement any cost, including but not limited to, license fees, royalties, or similar charges, for rights in technical data or computer software to be delivered under this agreement when -

 

(i)
The Government has acquired, by any means, the same or greater rights in the data or software; or

 

(ii)
The data are available to the public without restrictions.

 

(2)
The limitation in paragraph (j)(1) of this article -

 

(i)
Includes costs charged by a subcontractor or supplier, at any tier, or costs incurred by the Contractor to acquire rights in subcontractor of supplier technical data or computer software, if the subcontractor or supplier has been paid for such rights under any other Government contract or under a license conveying the rights to the Government; and

 

(ii)
Does not include the reasonable costs of reproducing, handling, or mailing the documents or other media in which the technical data or computer software will be delivered.

 

(m)
Applicability to subcontractors or suppliers.

AGREEMENT NUMBER FA8614-22-9-0003

(1)
The Contractor shall assure that the rights afforded its subcontractors and suppliers under 10

U.S.C. 2320, 10 U.S.C. 2321, and the identification, assertion, and delivery processes required by paragraph (e) of this article are recognized and protected.

 

(2)
Whenever any noncommercial technical data or computer software is to be obtained from a subcontractor or supplier for delivery to the Government under this agreement, the Contractor shall use this same article in the subcontract or other contractual instrument, and require its subcontractors or suppliers to do so, without alteration, except to identify the parties. The Contractor shall use the Technical Data - Commercial Items article of this agreement to obtain technical data pertaining to commercial items, components, or processes. No other article shall be used to enlarge or diminish the Government's, the Contractor's, or a higher tier subcontractor's or supplier's rights in a subcontractor's or supplier's technical data or computer software.

 

(3)
Technical data required to be delivered by a subcontractor or supplier shall normally be delivered to the next higher tier contractor, subcontractor, or supplier. However, when there is a requirement in the prime agreement for technical data which may be delivered with other than unlimited rights by a subcontractor or supplier, then said subcontractor or supplier may fulfill its requirement by delivering such technical data directly to the Government, rather than through a higher tier contractor, subcontractor, or supplier.

 

(4)
The Contractor and higher tier subcontractors or suppliers shall not use their power to award contracts as economic leverage to obtain rights in technical data or computer software from their subcontractors or suppliers.

 

(5)
In no event shall the Contractor use its obligation to recognize and protect subcontractor or supplier rights in technical data or computer software as an excuse for failing to satisfy its contractual obligation to the Government.

 

ARTICLE XVIII: VALIDATION OF RESTRICTIVE MARKINGS ON TECHNICAL DATA

AGREEMENT NUMBER FA8614-22-9-0003

(5)
"Covered Government support contractor" means a contractor (other than a litigation support contractor covered by 252.204-7014 ) under a contract, the primary purpose of which is to furnish independent and impartial advice or technical assistance directly to the Government in support of the Government’s management and oversight of a program or effort (rather than to directly furnish an end item or service to accomplish a program or effort), provided that the contractor—

 

(i)
Is not affiliated with the prime performer or a first-tier subcontractor on the program or effort, or with any direct competitor of such prime performer or any such first-tier subcontractor in furnishing end items or services of the type developed or produced on the program or effort; and

 

(ii)
Receives access to technical data or computer software for performance of a Government contract that contains the clause at 252.227-7025 , Limitations on the Use or Disclosure of Government-Furnished Information Marked with Restrictive Legends.

 

(6)
“Detailed manufacturing or process data” means technical data that describe the steps, sequences, and conditions of manufacturing, processing or assembly used by the manufacturer to produce an item or component or to perform a process.

 

(7)
“Developed” means that an item, component, or process exists and is workable. Thus, the item or component must have been constructed or the process practiced. Workability is generally established when the item, component, or process has been analyzed or tested sufficiently to demonstrate to reasonable people skilled in the applicable art that there is a high probability that it will operate as intended. Whether, how much, and what type of analysis or testing is required to establish workability depends on the nature of the item, component, or process, and the state of the art. To be considered “developed,” the item, component, or process need not be at the stage where it could be offered for sale or sold on the commercial market, nor must the item, component, or process be actually reduced to practice within the meaning of Title 35 of the United States Code.

 

(8)
“Developed exclusively at private expense” means development was accomplished entirely with costs charged to indirect cost pools, costs not allocated to a government contract, or any combination thereof.

 

(i)
Private expense determinations should be made at the lowest practicable level.

 

(ii)
Under fixed-price contracts, when total costs are greater than the firm-fixed-price or ceiling price of the contract, the additional development costs necessary to complete development shall not be considered when determining whether development was at government, private, or mixed expense.

 

(9)
“Developed exclusively with government funds” means development was not accomplished exclusively or partially at private expense.

 

(10)
“Developed with mixed funding” means development was accomplished partially with costs charged to indirect cost pools and/or costs not allocated to a government contract, and partially with costs charged directly to a government contract.

 

(11)
“Form, fit, and function data” means technical data that describes the required overall physical, functional, and performance characteristics (along with the qualification requirements,

 

51 | P a g e

 

 


 

AGREEMENT NUMBER FA8614-22-9-0003

if applicable) of an item, component, or process to the extent necessary to permit identification of physically and functionally interchangeable items.

 

(12)
“Government purpose” means any activity in which the United States Government is a party, including cooperative agreements with international or multi-national defense organizations, or sales or transfers by the United States Government to foreign governments or international organizations. Government purposes include competitive procurement, but do not include the rights to use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose technical data for commercial purposes or authorize others to do so.

 

(13)
“Government purpose rights” means the rights to—

 

(i)
Use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose technical data within the Government without restriction; and

 

(ii)
Release or disclose technical data outside the Government and authorize persons to whom release or disclosure has been made to use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose that data for United States government purposes.

 

(14)
“Limited rights” means the rights to use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose technical data, in whole or in part, within the Government. The Government may not, without the written permission of the party asserting limited rights, release or disclose the technical data outside the Government, use the technical data for manufacture, or authorize the technical data to be used by another party, except that the Government may reproduce, release, or disclose such data or authorize the use or reproduction of the data by persons outside the Government if—

 

(i)
The reproduction, release, disclosure, or use is—

 

(A)
Necessary for emergency repair and overhaul; or

 

(B)
A release or disclosure to—

 

(1)
A covered Government support contractor in performance of its covered Government support contract for use, modification, reproduction, performance, display, or release or disclosure to a person authorized to receive limited rights technical data; or

 

(2)
A foreign government, of technical data other than detailed manufacturing or process data, when use of such data by the foreign government is in the interest of the Government and is required for evaluational or informational purposes;

 

(ii)
The recipient of the technical data is subject to a prohibition on the further reproduction, release, disclosure, or use of the technical data; and

 

(iii)
The performer or subcontractor asserting the restriction is notified of such reproduction, release, disclosure, or use.

 

(15)
“Technical data” means recorded information, regardless of the form or method of the recording, of a scientific or technical nature (including computer software documentation). The

 

52 | P a g e

 

 


 

AGREEMENT NUMBER FA8614-22-9-0003

term does not include computer software or data incidental to contract administration, such as financial and/or management information.

 

(16)
“Unlimited rights” means rights to use, modify, reproduce, perform, display, release, or disclose technical data in whole or in part, in any manner, and for any purpose whatsoever, and to have or authorize others to do so.

 

(b)
Presumption regarding development exclusively at private expense.

 

(1)
Commercial items.

 

(i)
Except as provided in paragraph (b)(2) of this article, the Agreement Officer will presume that the Performer’s or a subcontractor’s asserted use or release restrictions with respect to a commercial item is justified on the basis that the item was developed exclusively at private expense.

 

(ii)
The Agreement Officer will not challenge such assertions unless the Agreement Officer has information that demonstrates that the commercial item was not developed exclusively at private expense.

 

(2)
Major weapon systems. In the case of a challenge to a use or release restriction that is asserted with respect to data of the Performer or a subcontractor for a major weapon system or a subsystem or component thereof on the basis that the major weapon system, subsystem, or component was developed exclusively at private expense—

 

(i)
The presumption in paragraph (b)(1) of this article applies to—

 

(A)
A commercial subsystem or component of a major weapon system, if the major weapon system was acquired as a commercial item in accordance with DFARS subpart 234.70 (10 U.S.C. 2379(a));

 

(B)
A component of a subsystem, if the subsystem was acquired as a commercial item in accordance with DFARS subpart 234.70 (10 U.S.C. 2379(b)); and

 

(C)
Any other component, if the component is a commercially available off-the-shelf item or a commercially available off-the-shelf item with modifications of a type customarily available in the commercial marketplace or minor modifications made to meet Federal Government requirements; and

 

(ii)
In all other cases, the challenge to the use or release restriction will be sustained unless information provided by the Performer or a subcontractor demonstrates that the item or process was developed exclusively at private expense.

 

(c)
Justification. The Performer or subcontractor at any tier is responsible for maintaining records sufficient to justify the validity of its markings that impose restrictions on the Government and others to use, duplicate, or disclose technical data delivered or required to be delivered under the Agreement or subcontract. Except as provided in paragraph (b)(1) of this article, the Performer or subcontractor shall be prepared to furnish to the Agreement Officer a written justification for such restrictive markings in response to a challenge under paragraph (e) of this article.

 

53 | P a g e

 

 


 

AGREEMENT NUMBER FA8614-22-9-0003

(d)
Prechallenge request for information.

 

(1)
The Agreement Officer may request the Performer or subcontractor to furnish a written explanation for any restriction asserted by the Performer or subcontractor on the right of the United States or others to use technical data. If, upon review of the explanation delivered, the Agreement Officer remains unable to ascertain the basis of the restrictive marking, the Agreement Officer may further request the Performer or subcontractor to furnish additional information in the records of, or otherwise in the possession of or reasonably available to, the Performer or subcontractor to justify the validity of any restrictive marking on technical data delivered or to be delivered under the Agreement or subcontract (e.g., a statement of facts accompanied with supporting documentation). The Performer or subcontractor shall deliver such written data as requested by the Agreement Officer within the time required or such longer period as may be mutually agreed.

 

(2)
If the Agreement Officer, after reviewing the written data furnished pursuant to paragraph (d)(1) of this article, or any other available information pertaining to the validity of a restrictive marking, determines that reasonable grounds exist to question the current validity of the marking and that continued adherence to the marking would make impracticable the subsequent competitive acquisition of the item, component, or process to which the technical data relates, the Agreement Officer shall follow the procedures in paragraph (e) of this article.

 

(3)
If the Performer or subcontractor fails to respond to the Agreement Officer's request for information under paragraph (d)(1) of this article, and the Agreement Officer determines that continued adherence to the marking would make impracticable the subsequent competitive acquisition of the item, component, or process to which the technical data relates, the Agreement Officer may challenge the validity of the marking as described in paragraph (e) of this article.

 

(e)
Challenge.

 

(1)
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement concerning inspection and acceptance, if the Agreement Officer determines that a challenge to the restrictive marking is warranted, the Agreement Officer shall send a written challenge notice to the Performer or subcontractor asserting the restrictive markings. Such challenge shall—

 

(i)
State the specific grounds for challenging the asserted restriction;

 

(ii)
Require a response within sixty (60) days justifying and providing sufficient evidence as to the current validity of the asserted restriction;

 

(iii)
State that a DoD Agreement Officer's final decision, issued pursuant to paragraph (g) of this article, sustaining the validity of a restrictive marking identical to the asserted restriction, within the three-year period preceding the challenge, shall serve as justification for the asserted restriction if the validated restriction was asserted by the same Performer or subcontractor (or any licensee of such Performer or subcontractor) to which such notice is being provided; and

 

(iv)
State that failure to respond to the challenge notice may result in issuance of a final decision pursuant to paragraph (f) of this article.

 

54 | P a g e

 

 


 

AGREEMENT NUMBER FA8614-22-9-0003

(2)
The Agreement Officer shall extend the time for response as appropriate if the Performer or subcontractor submits a written request showing the need for additional time to prepare a response.

 

(3)
The Performer's or subcontractor's written response shall be considered a claim within the meaning of 41 U.S.C. 7101, Agreement Disputes, and shall be certified in the form prescribed at

33.207 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, regardless of dollar amount.

 

(4)
A Performer or subcontractor receiving challenges to the same restrictive markings from more than one Agreement Officer shall notify each Agreement Officer of the existence of more than one challenge. The notice shall also state which Agreement Officer initiated the first in time unanswered challenge. The Agreement Officer initiating the first in time unanswered challenge after consultation with the Performer or subcontractor and the other Agreement Officers, shall formulate and distribute a schedule for responding to each of the challenge notices to all interested parties. The schedule shall afford the Performer or subcontractor an opportunity to respond to each challenge notice. All parties will be bound by this schedule.

 

(h)
Final decision when Performer or subcontractor fails to respond. Upon a failure of a Performer or subcontractor to submit any response to the challenge notice the Agreement Officer will issue a final decision to the Performer or subcontractor in accordance with paragraph (b) of this article and the Disputes article of this Agreement pertaining to the validity of the asserted restriction. This final decision shall be issued as soon as possible after the expiration of the time period of paragraph (e)(1)(ii) or (e)(2) of this article. Following issuance of the final decision, the Agreement Officer will comply with the procedures in paragraphs (g)(2)(ii) through (iv) of this article.

 

(i)
Final decision when Performer or subcontractor responds.

 

(1)
If the Agreement Officer determines that the Performer or subcontractor has justified the validity of the restrictive marking, the Agreement Officer shall issue a final decision to the Performer or subcontractor sustaining the validity of the restrictive marking, and stating that the Government will continue to be bound by the restrictive marking. This final decision shall be issued within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Performer's or subcontractor's response to the challenge notice, or within such longer period that the Agreement Officer has notified the Performer or subcontractor that the Government will require. The notification of a longer period for issuance of a final decision will be made within sixty (60) days after receipt of the response to the challenge notice.

 

(2)(i) If the Agreement Officer determines that the validity of the restrictive marking is not justified, the Agreement Officer shall issue a final decision to the Performer or subcontractor in accordance with the Disputes article of this Agreement. Notwithstanding paragraph (e) of the Disputes article, the final decision shall be issued within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Performer's or subcontractor's response to the challenge notice, or within such longer period that the Agreement Officer has notified the Performer or subcontractor of the longer period that the Government will require. The notification of a longer period for issuance of a final decision will be made within sixty (60) days after receipt of the response to the challenge notice.

 

(ii)
The Government agrees that it will continue to be bound by the restrictive marking for a period of ninety (90) days from the issuance of the Agreement Officer's final decision under paragraph (g)(2)(i) of this article. The Performer or subcontractor agrees that, if it intends to file suit in the United States Claims Court it will provide a notice of intent to file suit to the

 

55 | P a g e

 

 


 

AGREEMENT NUMBER FA8614-22-9-0003

Agreement Officer within ninety (90) days from the issuance of the Agreement Officer's final decision under paragraph (g)(2)(i) of this article. If the Performer or subcontractor fails to appeal, file suit, or provide a notice of intent to file suit to the Agreement Officer within the ninety (90)-day period, the Government may cancel or ignore the restrictive markings, and the failure of the Performer or subcontractor to take the required action constitutes agreement with such Government action.

 

(iii)
The Government agrees that it will continue to be bound by the restrictive marking where a notice of intent to file suit in the United States Claims Court is provided to the Agreement Officer within ninety (90) days from the issuance of the final decision under paragraph (g)(2)(i) of this article. The Government will no longer be bound, and the Performer or subcontractor agrees that the Government may strike or ignore the restrictive markings, if the Performer or subcontractor fails to file its suit within one (1) year after issuance of the final decision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the head of an agency determines, on a nondelegable basis, that urgent or compelling circumstances will not permit waiting for the filing of a suit in the United States Claims Court, the Performer or subcontractor agrees that the agency may, following notice to the Performer or subcontractor, authorize release or disclosure of the technical data. Such agency determination may be made at any time after issuance of the final decision and will not affect the Performer's or subcontractor's right to damages against the United States where its restrictive markings are ultimately upheld or to pursue other relief, if any, as may be provided by law.

 

(iv)
The Government agrees that it will be bound by the restrictive marking where an appeal or suit is filed pursuant to the Agreement Disputes statute until final disposition by an agency Board of Contract Appeals or the United States Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the head of an agency determines, on a nondelegable basis, following notice to the Performer that urgent or compelling circumstances will not permit awaiting the decision by such Board of Contract Appeals or the United States Claims Court, the Performer or subcontractor agrees that the agency may authorize release or disclosure of the technical data. Such agency determination may be made at any time after issuance of the final decision and will not affect the Performer's or subcontractor's right to damages against the United States where its restrictive markings are ultimately upheld or to pursue other relief, if any, as may be provided by law.

 

(h)
Final disposition of appeal or suit.

 

(1)
If the Performer or subcontractor appeals or files suit and if, upon final disposition of the appeal or suit, the Agreement Officer's decision is sustained—

 

(i)
The restrictive marking on the technical data shall be cancelled, corrected or ignored; and

 

(ii)

(6)
Notwithstanding challenge by the Agreement Officer, the parties may agree on the disposition of an asserted restriction at any time prior to an Agreement Officer's final decision or, if the Performer has appealed that decision, filed suit, or provided notice of an intent to file suit, at any time prior to a decision by a court of competent jurisdiction or Board of Contract Appeals.

ATTACHMENT 1: STATEMENT OF WORK

Dated 26 January 2022

 

I.
Background

 

Joby Aero Inc. (Joby) is developing an all-electric, piloted airplane which is capable of both conventional and vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) using simplified piloting techniques. This includes the development of core technologies, the integration of these technologies into a reliable aircraft and the implementation of these new flight capabilities including flight training and operational readiness. Joby is developing and maturing a range of core technologies which are required to enable all-electric conventional and vertical flight using simplified piloting techniques. These include an electric flight powertrain (flight capable batteries, motors, high-power electronics), high reliability electronic controllers, flight critical software, quiet and safe propeller technology and a range of new aerodynamic solutions enabled by electrification. Rapidly maturing these capabilities to demonstrate increased reliability and performance is key to the next era of electrified flight.

 

The Joby S4 is designed for civilian passenger operations and has a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of [*****]. It is a multi-motor, tilt-rotor aircraft driven by custom electric motors, inverters, and energy storage systems. The expected maximum speed of the production aircraft is 200 mph with a range of 150 miles on a single charge. This initial go-to market Minimal Viable Product (MVP) will be piloted utilizing Simplified Vehicle Operating (SVO) principles. These baseline capabilities are achievable with the current Gen 2 prototype, in manned and remote piloted configurations. As the S4’s system capabilities develop, Joby will document progress and conduct disciplined testing as appropriate, in coordination with Air Force personnel.

 

The integration of a whole range of new technologies into an airframe to prove out performance and reliability capabilities is critical to assuring leadership in the new era of electric aviation. Joby has matured eVTOL technologies from unmanned, 1.0, to optionally manned 2.0. Through development and maturation of these 2.0 vehicles Joby will refine core technologies and integrate them into a 2.1 vehicle which can satisfy requirements for civil aircraft certification and commercial introduction. At the same time, Joby will work with DoD airworthiness teams to impart new technological lessons learned so the state of DoD airworthiness can be evolved along with the capabilities of the vehicle. The design of the Joby 2.1 vehicle is intended to fit well into the existing airspace while introducing a range of new capabilities which do not exist today. [*****].

[*****]

 

Through the current SBIR period of performance with the additional options executed, Joby anticipates evolution of the capabilities of eVTOL from early optionally piloted prototypes to mature manned capable prototypes with ever increasing reliability and readiness. Moving from the early days of these technologies to a later stage will identify new benefits to be employed and opportunities for further development all while assuring technological leadership.

 

Objectives

 

In accordance with the long-term goals of SBIR Phase II agreement “FA8002-20-9- 0143” and Agility Prime Program objectives the USAF intends to further the Joby SBIR program into a Phase three to include additional objectives to the continued maturation of the S4 as a manned, operationally useful aircraft for military use.
