LOS
ANGELES, October 04, 2026 — Faraday Future Intelligent Electric
Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) (“Faraday Future,” “FF” or the “Company”), a
California-based global Embodied AI (EAI) ecosystem company, today announced a
series of strategic developments spanning its EAI robotics business, U.S.
manufacturing initiatives and broader Physical AI strategy.
These developments include the proposed
combination of FF’s EAI robotics business with Nasdaq-listed AIxCrypto
Holdings, Inc., now renamed FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Inc. (NASDAQ: FFR);
continued commercialization of FF’s “Four-Core Full-Stack AI” robotics
ecosystem; Phase Two of its “Built in USA” Acceleration Program; and FFAI’s
planned evolution toward a Physical AI-focused investment, incubation and
holding platform.
FFR and FFAI Advance Proposed
Robotics Combination
On September 28, 2026, FFR and FFAI entered
into a non-binding term sheet for FFR’s proposed all-stock acquisition of
FFAI’s EAI robotics business and related assets at an estimated valuation of
approximately $200 million.
Effective
September 30, AIxCrypto Holdings changed its corporate name to FF EAI Robotics
Ecosystem Inc. and its Nasdaq ticker symbol from AIXC to FFR.
If
completed, FF EAI Robotics is expected to become a wholly owned subsidiary of
FFR, establishing a dedicated public-market platform focused on robotics
commercialization, scaled deployment and ecosystem development. FFAI is
expected to retain control of FFR and consolidate it into its financial
statements.
The
proposed transaction remains subject to due diligence, negotiation and
execution of definitive agreements, review and approval by the companies’
respective Special Committees and boards, where applicable, stockholder and
other required approvals, and customary closing conditions. There can be no
assurance that the transaction will be completed.
Shares
issued to FFAI in connection with the proposed transaction are expected to be
subject to an 18-month lock-up. The transaction framework also
contemplates a potential special stock dividend to eligible FFR stockholders,
subject to the final transaction terms.
FF EAI Robotics Advances
Commercialization
FF has developed a robotics portfolio
comprising 24 products across three forms, five series and 11 models,
with products having received FCC certification and entered commercial
delivery.
As
of the end of August 2026, cumulative EAI Device sales and shipments reached 552 units.
Based on unaudited information, FF’s Four-Core Full-Stack AI robotics products
achieved an average gross margin of approximately 30.9% in the second
quarter of 2026, while cumulative robotics revenue reached
approximately $1.52 million.
FF’s
robotics ecosystem is built around four core capabilities: EAI Brain, EAI
Developer Platform, EAI Data Factory and EAI Industry Applications.
The Company is also advancing RoboShare, its robotics sharing and service
model, together with industry-focused productivity solutions.
Preliminary
projections prepared by FFAI management anticipate approximately $7.1 million in
robotics revenue in 2026 and approximately $45.17 million in
2027, with positive operating cash flow targeted for the third
quarter of 2028. Cumulative revenue for 2026–2030 is preliminarily projected at
approximately $1.98 billion, with more than 130,000 EAI Devices
projected over the period.
These
projections were prepared by FFAI management on a standalone basis, have not
been adopted as guidance by FFR and remain subject to significant assumptions,
risks and uncertainties.
FF Advances Phase Two of Its
“Built in USA” Program
FF is advancing Phase Two of its “Built in USA”
Acceleration Program, including the rollout of its Next Futurist
and Next
Aegis robotics series and the continued development of
U.S.-based supply-chain, compliance, certification and manufacturing
capabilities.
The
Company is targeting the start of operations at its U.S. robotics factory by
the end of 2026, with the first new EAI robot from the U.S. production line targeted
for the first quarter of 2027.
FF
is also working with AIBOT on regulatory and compliance matters, including FCC,
Information and Communications Technology and Services (ICTS), and National
Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)-related requirements.
In
parallel, FF has opened its EAI Robotics “Made in USA” Industry Alliance
to global technology, manufacturing, supply-chain, commercialization, research
and capital partners.
FFAI Expands Its Physical AI
Strategy
Alongside the proposed robotics transaction,
FFAI plans to evolve toward a Physical AI-focused investment, incubation and holding
company, supporting businesses and technologies across
robotics, AI, mobility and related intelligent ecosystems.
Its
automotive strategy is also expected to expand toward a lighter-asset shared
intelligent mobility model, including participation in Robotaxi operations,
commercialization of EAI intelligent-cabin capabilities for broader vehicle
applications, and potential integration of FF vehicles into shared mobility
networks.
Together,
these initiatives are intended to advance FF’s evolution from individual
intelligent products toward a broader Physical AI ecosystem spanning robotics,
AI, real-world data, industry applications, advanced manufacturing and shared
intelligent mobility.
