CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “might,” “possible,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report include statements about:

•our ability to commercialize the Aurora Driver safely, quickly, and broadly on the timeline we expect;

•the safety benefits of our technology and product;

•the market for autonomous vehicles and our market position;

•our ability to compete effectively with existing and new competitors;

•our ability to maintain the listing of our Class A common stock and warrants on Nasdaq;

•our ability to raise financing in the future;

•anticipated trends, growth rates, and challenges in our business and in the markets in which we operate;

•our ability to effectively manage our growth and future expenses;

•the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents to meet our operating requirements;

•our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors;

•the impact of the regulatory environment and complexities with compliance related to such environment;

•our ability to successfully collaborate with business partners, including our ability to secure supply and/or upfit vehicles for deployment;

•other factors detailed under the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and this Quarterly Report.

We caution you that the foregoing list does not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those described in the section titled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. We cannot assure you that the results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

2

Neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. Moreover, the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make.

Aurora Innovation, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1. Overview of the Organization

Aurora Innovation, Inc. (the “Company” or “Aurora”) is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and its mission is to deliver the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly. The Company has launched and continues to develop the Aurora Driver, an advanced and scalable suite of self-driving hardware, software and data services designed as a platform to adapt and interoperate amongst vehicle types and applications.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions between the Company and its controlled subsidiaries have been eliminated.

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The information included herein should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of the Company, all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented but are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the full fiscal year or any future period.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s operations are principally funded by available liquidity from cash, cash equivalents and investments. Management expects to continue to incur operating losses and that the Company will need to opportunistically raise additional capital to support the continued development and commercialization of the Aurora Driver at scale. Management believes that cash on hand and investments will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of these financial statements. Management will continue to evaluate the timing and nature of discretionary operating expenses, as necessary.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and investments. The Company primarily maintains its cash and cash equivalents at U.S. commercial banks, while its investments primarily consist of U.S. Treasury securities as well as corporate bonds and commercial paper. Cash and cash equivalents deposited with domestic commercial banks generally exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable limit, though the Company has not experienced any credit losses on its deposits.

The Company is dependent on its suppliers, some of which are single or limited source suppliers, to design, develop, industrialize and manufacture components or to perform the upfitting, integration, and related services to upfit vehicles with the Aurora Driver and the necessary redundancies for driverless operations, and these suppliers may not produce and deliver necessary and industrialized components or perform the services at prices, volumes and on terms acceptable to the Company. For instance, the Company plans to rely on a single supplier, AUMOVIO (formerly known as Continental), for the production, provision and full lifecycle support of its future generation of the Aurora Driver hardware system which will be integrated with OEM platform vehicles. In instances where the supplier fails to perform its obligations, the Company may be unable to find alternative suppliers to satisfactorily deliver its products, if at all.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires annual and interim disclosure of disaggregated disclosures of certain costs and expenses on the income statement. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Amendments are applied on a prospective basis with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes and simplifies the guidance for capitalizing costs related to internal-use software by removing the stage-based approach and aligning the disclosure requirements with those for other long-lived assets. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied prospectively or using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

Note 3. Revenue

The Company generates revenue by providing transportation services for customers from an origin to a destination of the shipment. The Company and its customers enter into transportation service agreements that establish the terms, including prices, under which orders to purchase transportation services may be placed. When an agreement includes enforceable terms and conditions over a specified period, it is considered a contract, as it establishes enforceable rights and obligations.

Substantially all of the Company’s contracts with its customers are for a single performance obligation of providing self-driving and other transportation services, with the transaction price determined on a per mile rate basis, or a comparable pricing mechanism. The transaction price may be defined in a transportation services agreement or negotiated with the customer prior to accepting the shipment order.

The Company recognizes revenue on its transportation services as goods are transported from the origin to the destination utilizing an over time model as the services are provided. The Company has an unconditional right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of its performance, and as such the Company recognizes revenue in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice the customer, when applicable.

Invoices are generally due 30 days after the invoice date. Receivables are recorded for the unconditional right to consideration when the related performance obligations have been fully satisfied. There are no significant financing components in our customer contracts.

Revenues are presented net of tax when transactions are subject to taxes, such as sales tax, that are assessed by governmental authorities.

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract and costs to fulfill a contract are not material.

At-The-Market Offering

On February 14, 2025, the Company entered into a sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., TD Securities (USA) LLC, and Allen & Company LLC (the “Sales Agents”) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time and at its sole discretion, up to an aggregate amount of $500 million of the Company’s Class A common stock through the Sales Agents in an “at-the-market” offering (the “ATM Program”). On July 30, 2025, the Company increased the aggregate dollar amount of the Company’s Class A common stock that it may sell under the ATM Program to $1,421 million, of which $1,000 million remained available to be sold as of the date thereof. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has offered and sold approximately 154 million shares of Class A common stock through the ATM Program at an average price of $5.93 per share, for net proceeds of $888 million after transaction costs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company offered and sold approximately 3 million shares of Class A common stock through the ATM Program at an average price of $4.81 per share, for net proceeds of $14 million after transaction costs.

Note 6. Equity Incentive Plans

The Company has outstanding awards granted under four equity compensation plans: the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), the Aurora Innovation, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), the Blackmore Sensors & Analytics, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Blackmore Plan”), and the OURS Technology Inc. 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “OURS Plan”). The Company assumed awards under the 2017 Plan, the Blackmore Plan and the OURS Plan to the extent such employees continued as employees of the Company.

Under the Plan, equity-based compensation in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), restricted stock awards, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, and performance units may be granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants, and others. As of March 31, 2026, there were 304 million shares available for grant under the Plan.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation is allocated on a departmental basis, based on the classification of the option holder or grant recipient. No income tax benefits have been recognized in the statement of operations for stock-based compensation arrangements and no material stock-based compensation has been capitalized as of March 31, 2026. Stock-based compensation in cost of revenue was not significant in the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Total stock-based compensation expense by function was as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Research and development	$	36	$	29
Selling, general, and administrative	10		5
Total	$	46	$	34

Restricted Stock Units

RSUs granted under the Plan generally are subject to a time-based vesting requirement. Generally, the time-based vesting requirement is quarterly over one to four years starting on the vesting commencement date, with a one-year cliff vesting for new hire awards.

RSU activity under the Plan and the 2017 Plan was as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

	Number of shares	Weighted- average grant date fair value
Unvested at December 31, 2025	80	$	5.12
Granted	63	4.41
Vested	(10)	4.39
Forfeited	(3)	5.21
Unvested at March 31, 2026	130	$	4.83

12

The unrecognized stock-based compensation related to unvested RSUs was $602 million at March 31, 2026 and will be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.2 years. The fair value of RSUs as of their respective vesting dates was $46 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Stock Options

The exercise price of stock options granted under the Plan and the 2017 Plan may not be less than 100% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. Stock options generally vest over one to four years starting on the vesting commencement date and expire, if not exercised, 10 years from the date of grant or, if earlier, three months after the option holder ceases to be a service provider of the Company. Stock options outstanding under the Blackmore Plan and the OURS Plan are not material.

Stock options granted under the Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
Stock options granted (in millions)	1
Weighted average grant date fair value	$	3.18
Weighted average grant date fair value assumptions:
Expected term	6.5 years
Risk-free interest rates	4.1		%
Expected volatility	79.1		%

Stock option activity under the Plan and the 2017 Plan was as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

The earnout share liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation analysis. The expected volatility is determined based on our historical equity volatility over a period that matches the expected term of the instrument. The risk-free interest rate is based on relevant U.S. treasury rates for a period that matches the expected term of the instrument. Earnout shares outstanding were 5 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The valuation inputs utilized in determining the earnout share liability were as follows:

	As of
	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025
Risk-free interest rates	4.1	%	3.8	%
Expected term (in years)	5.6		5.8
Expected volatility	81.0	%	81.0	%

The components of change in fair value of derivative liabilities were as follows (in millions):

Note 10. Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share of common stock using the two-class method required for participating securities. The participating securities did not impact the computation of earnings per share in the periods presented as no dividends were declared and the participating securities are not contractually obligated to share in losses.

The Company has two classes of common stock with identical liquidation and dividend rights, Class A and Class B. The net loss is allocated in a proportionate basis to each class of common stock and results in the same net loss per share.

The following table presents the potential common stock outstanding excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because including them would have had an antidilutive effect (in millions):

	As of
	March 31, 2026	March 31, 2025

Private placement warrants	9	9
Earnout shares liability	5	5
Total	243	236

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time the Company may be party to various claims in the normal course of business. Legal fees and other costs associated with such actions are expensed as incurred. The Company assesses the need to record a liability for litigation and loss contingencies. Reserve estimates are recorded when and if it is determined that a loss related to certain matters is both probable and reasonably estimable. No material loss contingencies were recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Note 12. Segment

The Company has one reportable segment managed on a consolidated basis by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). In identifying one reportable segment, the Company considered the basis of organization for the continued development of the Aurora Driver, an advanced and scalable suite of self-driving hardware, software and data services designed as a platform to adapt and interoperate amongst vehicle types and applications.

The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss that is also reported on the income statement as consolidated net loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as consolidated total assets.

The CODM allocates resources and evaluates performance based on net loss, which is the Company’s measure of segment profit or loss. The CODM considers budget to actual and year-over-year variances for net loss when making decisions about how to utilize the company’s resources.

In the second quarter of 2025, our CODM began to regularly review revenue and cost of revenue as a result of the successful launch of the Aurora Driver for Freight product.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2025, cost of revenue and other operating expenses now include depreciation and amortization which was previously reported in other segment items. The table below has been updated to reflect these changes.

The components of segment profit or loss were as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Revenue	$	1	$	—

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

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including those set forth in "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report and “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors" and under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to “Aurora,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar terms in this section refer to Aurora Innovation, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Percentage amounts have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of rounded figures, but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentage amounts may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain other amounts that appear in this Quarterly Report may not sum due to rounding.

Aurora’s Business

Aurora has launched and continues to develop the Aurora Driver based on what we believe to be the most advanced and scalable suite of self-driving hardware, software, and data services in the world to fundamentally transform the global transportation market. The Aurora Driver is designed as a platform to adapt and interoperate amongst vehicle types and applications. To date, it has been successfully integrated into numerous different vehicle platforms: from passenger vehicles to light commercial vehicles to Class 8 trucks. By creating one driver system for multiple vehicle types and use cases, Aurora’s capabilities in one market reinforce and strengthen its competitive advantages in others. For example, highway driving capabilities developed for trucking will carry over to highway segments driven by passenger vehicles in ride-hailing applications. We believe this approach will enable us to target and transform the transportation landscape, including trucking, passenger mobility, and local goods delivery market.

We envision a two-phase process for ownership and operation of Aurora Driver-powered self-driving vehicles. Early in our commercialization, we intend to own or lease and operate an initial fleet of trucks and will invest in self-driving system hardware, base vehicles, and commercial facilities (such as freight terminals). We will provide transportation services to customers through driverless operations as well as with vehicle operators as needed. This level of control is useful during early commercialization as we define operational processes and playbooks for our partners.

Following this initial phase, we expect that the Aurora Driver will ultimately be commercialized in a Driver as a Service (“DaaS”) business model, in which customers or third parties will acquire, manage, and maintain fleets directly, while subscribing to the Aurora Driver and a suite of related services. In this second phase, we do not intend to own nor operate a large number of vehicles ourselves. We intend to partner with OEMs, Tier 1 automotive suppliers, fleet operators, and other third parties to commercialize and support Aurora Driver-powered vehicles. We expect that these strategic partners will support activities such as vehicle and hardware manufacturing, financing and leasing, service and maintenance, parts replacement, facility ownership and operation, and other commercial and operational services as needed. Throughout commercialization, we expect to earn revenue on a fee per mile basis, or a comparable pricing mechanism. We expect this DaaS model to enable an asset-light and high margin revenue stream for Aurora, while allowing us to scale more rapidly through partnerships.

We launched Aurora Driver for Freight, our driverless trucking subscription service first, as we believe that is where we can make the largest impact the fastest, given the massive industry demand, attractive unit economics, and the ability to deploy on high volume highway-focused routes. We plan to leverage the extensibility of the Aurora Driver to deploy and scale into the passenger mobility market with Aurora Driver for Rides, our driverless ride hailing subscription service, and in the longer-term the local goods delivery market.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

The following table sets forth a summary of our consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated, and the changes between periods.

	Three Months Ended March 31,				$ Change		% Change
(in millions, except for percentages)	2026		2025
Revenue	$	1	$	—	$	1	n/m(1)
Cost of revenue	6		—		6		n/m(1)
Research and development	195		182		13		7	%
Selling, general and administrative	44		29		15		52	%

Net loss	$	(223)	$	(208)	$	(15)	7	%

(1) Not meaningful.

Revenue was $1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 due to the commercial launch of Aurora Driver for Freight in April 2025.

Cost of revenue was $6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 due to the commercial launch of Aurora Driver for Freight in April 2025. Non-cash stock based compensation in cost of revenue was not significant.

Research and development expenses increased by $13 million, or 7%, to $195 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $182 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation costs, personnel costs, and cloud spend, partially offset by costs now recognized as cost of revenue after commercial launch in April 2025 as well as costs now recognized as selling, general and administrative due to a realignment of resources. Research and development expenses included non-cash stock-based compensation of $36 million and $29 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $15 million, or 52%, to $44 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $29 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by an increase in personnel costs including costs previously recognized in research and development now included in selling, general and administrative due to a realignment of resources, and non-cash stock-based compensation. Selling, general and administrative expenses included non-cash stock-based compensation of $10 million and $5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The change in fair value of derivative liabilities resulted in expense of $1 million and $9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, primarily due to the change in the market price for the underlying instrument during each period.

Other income, net increased by $10 million, or 83%, to $22 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $12 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to remeasurement of non-marketable equity securities resulting in unrealized gains during the period.

18

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2026, our principal sources of liquidity were $273 million of cash and cash equivalents, $952 million of short-term investments, and $52 million of long-term investments, exclusive of restricted cash of $16 million. Investments consist of primarily U.S. Treasury securities as well as corporate bonds and commercial paper.

We have incurred negative cash flows from operating activities and significant losses from operations in the past. We have only recently started to generate revenue, and we do not expect to generate significant revenue until we reach commercial scale. We expect to continue to incur operating losses and we expect to opportunistically raise additional capital to solidify our balance sheet with an appropriate minimum cash balance to support our longer-term operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we offered and sold 3 million shares of Class A common stock through the ATM Program, raising $15 million in equity capital and receiving net proceeds of $14 million after transaction costs.

We expect our total liquidity will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report. Management will continue to evaluate the timing and nature of discretionary operating expenses, as necessary.

Worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain, including inflation volatility. The general economic and capital market conditions both in the U.S. and worldwide, have been volatile in the past. The capital and credit markets may not be available to support future capital raising activity on favorable terms. If economic conditions decline, our future cost of equity or debt capital and access to the capital markets could be adversely affected.

Cash Flows

Cash flows for the periods were as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(159)	$	(142)
Net cash provided by investing activities	209		19
Net cash provided by financing activities	4		82
Net increase (decrease)	54		(41)
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at beginning of the period	235		227
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of the period	$	289	$	186

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $159 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $17 million from $142 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to hardware development programs to support our scaling plan.

Cash Flows Provided by Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $209 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $190 million from $19 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to decreased purchases of investments and increased maturities of investments, partially offset by increased payments for fleet builds.

Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $78 million from $82 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to decreased proceeds from the ATM Program and the exercise of stock options as well as increased tax payments in connection with the net settlement of RSUs.

19

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

Aurora may be party to various claims within the normal course of business. Legal fees and other costs associated with such actions are expensed as incurred. We assess the need to record a liability for litigation and other loss contingencies, with reserve estimates recorded if we determine that a loss related to the matter is both probable and reasonably estimable. No material losses were recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. Preparation of the financial statements requires our management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amount of revenue and expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We consider an accounting judgment, estimate or assumption to be critical when (1) the estimate or assumption is complex in nature or requires a high degree of judgment and (2) the use of different judgments, estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates since our Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to a variety of market and other risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates, as well as risks to the availability of funding sources, hazard events, and specific asset risks.

Interest Rate Risk

Our results of operations are directly exposed to changes in interest rates, among other macroeconomic conditions. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors beyond our control.

We do not believe that an increase or decrease in interest rates of 100-basis points would have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

20

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

21

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are from time to time subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. However, we do not consider any such claims, lawsuits or proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to our business or likely to result in a material adverse effect on our future operating results, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our stock. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

Not applicable.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

Securities Trading Plans of Directors and Executive Officers

During our last fiscal quarter, no director or officer, as defined in Rule 16a-1(f), adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” each as defined in Regulation S-K Item 408.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions between the Company and its controlled subsidiaries have been eliminated.

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The information included herein should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of the Company, all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented but are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the full fiscal year or any future period.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s operations are principally funded by available liquidity from cash, cash equivalents and investments. Management expects to continue to incur operating losses and that the Company will need to opportunistically raise additional capital to support the continued development and commercialization of the Aurora Driver at scale. Management believes that cash on hand and investments will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of these financial statements. Management will continue to evaluate the timing and nature of discretionary operating expenses, as necessary.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and investments. The Company primarily maintains its cash and cash equivalents at U.S. commercial banks, while its investments primarily consist of U.S. Treasury securities as well as corporate bonds and commercial paper. Cash and cash equivalents deposited with domestic commercial banks generally exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable limit, though the Company has not experienced any credit losses on its deposits.

The Company is dependent on its suppliers, some of which are single or limited source suppliers, to design, develop, industrialize and manufacture components or to perform the upfitting, integration, and related services to upfit vehicles with the Aurora Driver and the necessary redundancies for driverless operations, and these suppliers may not produce and deliver necessary and industrialized components or perform the services at prices, volumes and on terms acceptable to the Company. For instance, the Company plans to rely on a single supplier, AUMOVIO (formerly known as Continental), for the production, provision and full lifecycle support of its future generation of the Aurora Driver hardware system which will be integrated with OEM platform vehicles. In instances where the supplier fails to perform its obligations, the Company may be unable to find alternative suppliers to satisfactorily deliver its products, if at all.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires annual and interim disclosure of disaggregated disclosures of certain costs and expenses on the income statement. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Amendments are applied on a prospective basis with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes and simplifies the guidance for capitalizing costs related to internal-use software by removing the stage-based approach and aligning the disclosure requirements with those for other long-lived assets. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied prospectively or using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

Revenue

Mar. 31, 2026

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue

Revenue

The Company generates revenue by providing transportation services for customers from an origin to a destination of the shipment. The Company and its customers enter into transportation service agreements that establish the terms, including prices, under which orders to purchase transportation services may be placed. When an agreement includes enforceable terms and conditions over a specified period, it is considered a contract, as it establishes enforceable rights and obligations.

Substantially all of the Company’s contracts with its customers are for a single performance obligation of providing self-driving and other transportation services, with the transaction price determined on a per mile rate basis, or a comparable pricing mechanism. The transaction price may be defined in a transportation services agreement or negotiated with the customer prior to accepting the shipment order.

The Company recognizes revenue on its transportation services as goods are transported from the origin to the destination utilizing an over time model as the services are provided. The Company has an unconditional right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of its performance, and as such the Company recognizes revenue in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice the customer, when applicable.

Invoices are generally due 30 days after the invoice date. Receivables are recorded for the unconditional right to consideration when the related performance obligations have been fully satisfied. There are no significant financing components in our customer contracts.

Revenues are presented net of tax when transactions are subject to taxes, such as sales tax, that are assessed by governmental authorities.

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract and costs to fulfill a contract are not material.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Equity Incentive Plans

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company has outstanding awards granted under four equity compensation plans: the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), the Aurora Innovation, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), the Blackmore Sensors & Analytics, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Blackmore Plan”), and the OURS Technology Inc. 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “OURS Plan”). The Company assumed awards under the 2017 Plan, the Blackmore Plan and the OURS Plan to the extent such employees continued as employees of the Company.

Under the Plan, equity-based compensation in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), restricted stock awards, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, and performance units may be granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants, and others. As of March 31, 2026, there were 304 million shares available for grant under the Plan.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation is allocated on a departmental basis, based on the classification of the option holder or grant recipient. No income tax benefits have been recognized in the statement of operations for stock-based compensation arrangements and no material stock-based compensation has been capitalized as of March 31, 2026. Stock-based compensation in cost of revenue was not significant in the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Total stock-based compensation expense by function was as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Research and development	$	36	$	29
Selling, general, and administrative	10		5
Total	$	46	$	34

Restricted Stock Units

RSUs granted under the Plan generally are subject to a time-based vesting requirement. Generally, the time-based vesting requirement is quarterly over one to four years starting on the vesting commencement date, with a one-year cliff vesting for new hire awards.

RSU activity under the Plan and the 2017 Plan was as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

	Number of shares	Weighted- average grant date fair value
Unvested at December 31, 2025	80	$	5.12
Granted	63	4.41
Vested	(10)	4.39
Forfeited	(3)	5.21
Unvested at March 31, 2026	130	$	4.83

The unrecognized stock-based compensation related to unvested RSUs was $602 million at March 31, 2026 and will be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.2 years. The fair value of RSUs as of their respective vesting dates was $46 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Stock Options

The exercise price of stock options granted under the Plan and the 2017 Plan may not be less than 100% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. Stock options generally vest over one to four years starting on the vesting commencement date and expire, if not exercised, 10 years from the date of grant or, if earlier, three months after the option holder ceases to be a service provider of the Company. Stock options outstanding under the Blackmore Plan and the OURS Plan are not material.

Stock options granted under the Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
Stock options granted (in millions)	1
Weighted average grant date fair value	$	3.18
Weighted average grant date fair value assumptions:

(a) Included in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets

(b) Included in derivative liabilities, long term on the condensed consolidated balance sheets

The public and private placement warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The public warrants were valued based on the closing price of the publicly traded instrument. The private placement warrants were valued using observable inputs for similar publicly traded instruments. Public warrants outstanding were 12 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Private placement warrants outstanding were 9 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The earnout share liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation analysis. The expected volatility is determined based on our historical equity volatility over a period that matches the expected term of the instrument. The risk-free interest rate is based on relevant U.S. treasury rates for a period that matches the expected term of the instrument. Earnout shares outstanding were 5 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The valuation inputs utilized in determining the earnout share liability were as follows:

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share of common stock using the two-class method required for participating securities. The participating securities did not impact the computation of earnings per share in the periods presented as no dividends were declared and the participating securities are not contractually obligated to share in losses.

The Company has two classes of common stock with identical liquidation and dividend rights, Class A and Class B. The net loss is allocated in a proportionate basis to each class of common stock and results in the same net loss per share.

The following table presents the potential common stock outstanding excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because including them would have had an antidilutive effect (in millions):

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment

Segment

The Company has one reportable segment managed on a consolidated basis by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). In identifying one reportable segment, the Company considered the basis of organization for the continued development of the Aurora Driver, an advanced and scalable suite of self-driving hardware, software and data services designed as a platform to adapt and interoperate amongst vehicle types and applications.

The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss that is also reported on the income statement as consolidated net loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as consolidated total assets.

The CODM allocates resources and evaluates performance based on net loss, which is the Company’s measure of segment profit or loss. The CODM considers budget to actual and year-over-year variances for net loss when making decisions about how to utilize the company’s resources.

In the second quarter of 2025, our CODM began to regularly review revenue and cost of revenue as a result of the successful launch of the Aurora Driver for Freight product.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2025, cost of revenue and other operating expenses now include depreciation and amortization which was previously reported in other segment items. The table below has been updated to reflect these changes.

The components of segment profit or loss were as follows (in millions):

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions between the Company and its controlled subsidiaries have been eliminated.

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The information included herein should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of the Company, all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented but are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the full fiscal year or any future period.

Certain Risks and Uncertainties

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s operations are principally funded by available liquidity from cash, cash equivalents and investments. Management expects to continue to incur operating losses and that the Company will need to opportunistically raise additional capital to support the continued development and commercialization of the Aurora Driver at scale. Management believes that cash on hand and investments will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of these financial statements. Management will continue to evaluate the timing and nature of discretionary operating expenses, as necessary.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and investments. The Company primarily maintains its cash and cash equivalents at U.S. commercial banks, while its investments primarily consist of U.S. Treasury securities as well as corporate bonds and commercial paper. Cash and cash equivalents deposited with domestic commercial banks generally exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable limit, though the Company has not experienced any credit losses on its deposits.

The Company is dependent on its suppliers, some of which are single or limited source suppliers, to design, develop, industrialize and manufacture components or to perform the upfitting, integration, and related services to upfit vehicles with the Aurora Driver and the necessary redundancies for driverless operations, and these suppliers may not produce and deliver necessary and industrialized components or perform the services at prices, volumes and on terms acceptable to the Company. For instance, the Company plans to rely on a single supplier, AUMOVIO (formerly known as Continental), for the production, provision and full lifecycle support of its future generation of the Aurora Driver hardware system which will be integrated with OEM platform vehicles. In instances where the supplier fails to perform its obligations, the Company may be unable to find alternative suppliers to satisfactorily deliver its products, if at all.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires annual and interim disclosure of disaggregated disclosures of certain costs and expenses on the income statement. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Amendments are applied on a prospective basis with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes and simplifies the guidance for capitalizing costs related to internal-use software by removing the stage-based approach and aligning the disclosure requirements with those for other long-lived assets. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied prospectively or using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.
