Lucid Stock Gains 3% Premarket After EV Maker Announces 6% Workforce Reduction, Cutting 400 Jobs To Lower Costs
The shares of Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) gained 3% in pre-market trading after the California-based EV maker said on Friday that it is laying off about 6% of its workforce or 400 employees to reduce costs.
Lucid集團（納斯達克股票代碼：LCID）的股價在盤前交易中上漲了3％，此前這家總部位於加利福尼亞的電動汽車製造商週五表示，將裁員約6％或400名員工以降低成本。
What Happened: The layoff is part of the company's restructuring plan and Lucid intends to complete it by the end of the third quarter, the company said in a filing on Friday. The company expects to incur a total of about $21 million to $25 million in charges as part of the plan, including severance payments and employee benefits.
發生了什麼：該公司在週五的一份文件中表示，裁員是公司重組計劃的一部分，Lucid打算在第三季度末之前完成該計劃。作爲計劃的一部分，該公司預計總共將產生約2100萬至2500萬美元的費用，包括遣散費和員工福利。
During the pre-market session, Lucid stock was up 2.94% after closing at $2.72 on Thursday.
在盤前交易中，Lucid股價在週四收於2.72美元后上漲了2.94％。
The layoffs are expected to impact employees at all levels, including leadership and mid-level management, company CEO Peter Rawlinson said in an email to employees. The workforce reduction, however, will not affect the company's hourly manufacturing and logistics workforce, he added.
公司首席執行官彼得·羅林森在給員工的電子郵件中表示，裁員預計將影響各級員工，包括領導層和中層管理層。但是，他補充說，裁員不會影響公司的每小時製造和物流員工。
"Letting go of our talented team members is difficult and a decision we did not take lightly. We are thankful to everyone who has helped Lucid at every step of our journey. Accordingly, we have extended severance and health benefits to the impacted employees, and we are offering them outplacement services," he wrote.
“放開我們才華橫溢的團隊成員很困難，我們也沒有掉以輕心。我們感謝所有在我們旅程的每一步中爲Lucid提供幫助的人。因此，我們向受影響的員工提供了遣散費和健康福利，我們正在爲他們提供就業服務，” 他寫道。
Why It Matters: For the first quarter, Lucid reported a net loss of $680.9 million and a revenue of just $172.7 million. The company accumulated a net loss of over $346,000 for every vehicle it delivered.
爲何重要：Lucid報告稱，第一季度淨虧損6.809億美元，收入僅爲1.727億美元。該公司每交付一輛車累計淨虧損超過346,000美元。
However, as of the end of the first quarter, Lucid had total liquidity of about $5.03 billion, which the company expects will be enough to sustain it through the start of production of the Gravity SUV and into the second quarter of 2025.
但是，截至第一季度末，Lucid的總流動性約爲50.3億美元，該公司預計，這將足以維持其在Gravity SUV投產和2025年第二季度之前的水平。
